It could be an after market dial. Back in the 80s they made all sorts of weird dials including stained and varnished wood.

Looks like - blue dial @

Black / onyx dial @

http://www.essentialwatches.com/list...8&itemID=12013

Maybe the bracelet / strap has been changed. His f/b looks like he deals in high end product. But I could be wrong.

He says 1805 case....

....but, I own a 1803. My 1803 has a DISTINCT edge around the dial, as it is a snap on dial as opposed to having feet. The dial he shows does NOT have the edge. However, I do not know if the 1805 had a snap on dial.

Other than that, I would say that at least this is a redial, and maybe NOT the original mvm't. He does not say what the mvmt ref# is to be able to cross reference.

I agree that it is most definitely a redial.

plus the cyclops and the date display doesn't match/align. Also, mag looks too low.

I have seen GOOD dials like that before, BUT that one.

You don't have to look too far with that one.

C'mon guys, look at the coronet it's crooked.

What would you expect with a watch that the bid price is 666.

why would seller risk 100% feedback and powerseller rating for fake/modified timepiece?

At worst, it's a fake. At best, it's a $h1tty redial. Either way, it's as ugly as homemade sin. Personally, I think the date magnification is wrong.

It has been settled by having it removed. I think it was a faker.
