How does this dial look?

Thank you all in advance for your time.
I think the printing looks good but I’ve been fooled before…
Also the coronet is not what I’m used to but what do you experts think?
Please and thank you!

I'll just focus on the coronet. Because the acrylic crystal has likely been buffed to remove a scratch or scratches it is causing some diffusion.

So the base of the coronet is either malformed or the crystal is giving that impression.

Are you thinking of bidding or buying?

Thank you for the response! I believe the crystal is giving that impression.

I truly believe it’s original, just a bit of an uncommon reference.
Just looking for opinions :)
Thanks again

Thanks! I do really love it. It’s funny, it’s serial is 789XXX which is roughly ‘51 or ‘52 but then I have an early AirKing (‘62) which has a serial of 773XXX. They have almost the same range of S/N but are 10 years apart, because of the reset. Just really strange to see.
