I am highly suspect of that dial. Hour marker tritium/lume looks uneven. Print looks odd, and if i am not mistaken, i think slate dials should be a "serti" dial.

My opinion is aftermarket.

And Welcome by the way..

Looks like an original serti dial with the diamonds and saphires removed and re-filled with something. Stay away from those people...

Best,
