Opinions on this vignette dial, please
Diamond dials are not really in my wheelhouse, so opinions would be appreciated.

Wrong diamond setting for a 1601 pie pan dial…
T SWISS T dial would normally have lume hands…

It definitely looks like an aftermarket dial to me, but I'd like to know more about the watch itself, as it's possible there is more wrong than just the dial and crystal/magnification cyclops.
OP, what model watch is this? |

I used to have a 16233 with an original vignette dial, but it had a nice, slightly yellow discoloration due to its age. It's hard to stay blatantly white after all this time. But mostly it was a TT, and at time I have only seen very rarely an SS model with such a dial. As far as I've observed since then, the fraudsters often stick this kind of vignettes on cheaper 16233s, but mostly on the SS 1601s, because that makes it look more expensive and rarer. And mostly, nowadays it is far easyer to counterfeit a printed dial then a painted one.
As far as I have observed, among these SS models there are very few, if any, which have the papers. And in this case, this is perhaps the only thing that can definitely prove that the dial is original and not an aftermarket one. |
