Tudor 7016/0 Dial question, (Pic)

I an wondering about this Tudor,
The serial dates to 1968,
Aside from the odd hands, I am wondering about the dial,
Its the chapter ring which confuses me.
Is it an older poorly restored dial?
As I am very new to the Submariner,
Thank you,
Peter B

It looks to me that the dial was touched up by hand at some point.

"Tudor" and "Oyster Prince" all look a bit 'shaky' to be original pad print.

Re-lumed I think too based on the way the 3 marker looks.

Still a cool watch! Enjoy it!

Yes, I believe the dial to be relumed as well, The dial I can't tell, When I magnify the print looks pretty good and old,
Whats I find that is odd is I can find chapter ring dials on the older Tudor Subs, They are all 4 lines with the bottom line curved,
This one has 4 straight lines, Odd.

I don't think the 7016 ever had a closed chapter ring. They were phased out during the 7928 period, its predecessor. There also seems to be a hyphen missing between oyster and prince, and an equals sign missing between the depth numbers. Looks totally redone to me. Lolipop hand is, I believe, 1980s and started with the 76100 and minisub.
