Looks like it could be an aftermarket dial - it's marked T Swiss T, but it has no lume dots on it. The diamond at 5 o'clock doesn't look great either.

Do you have a link? Seller may have disclosed a refinished dial.

Thanks guys for the help. I took it to my local AD and had them check it over and open it up and everything is perfect on it. He said the diamonds where added, but everything else is original and correct inside and out.

Those pics must be a bit distorted then. As mentioned, the date font (boldness) & magnification still look off to me though, especially for a lady DJ. A few other things that still don't seem right: * The coronet on the dial is way off center (look at the distance between the crown, the 1 o'clock diamond, and the 11 o'clock diamond, as well as the hash marks in between). * T-Swiss-T dial, but no lume. * Winding crown doesn't appear to screw down all the way. Totally speculating here, but it would appear the whole dial may be aftermarket, and the crystal and/or date wheel have *possibly* been replaced. Same for the crown/tube. But, if the AD says it's OK? Here are a couple pics of lady DJ's for comparison. The first two are of the same vintage (going by date code on the clasp), and the last is the newer style: |
