You guys are going to LOVE this...

I see lots of "junk" like this all over the place, but this deserves a special award of some sort...

I guess on the bright side it does not claim to be “Swiss” at the bottom of the dial.

Maybe if you are a collector of "non-existent" dials...

Don’t really see the problem. It is way cheaper than an untouched dial and it is described as refinished.

I believe this is a redone original dial.
Even if it is shit to us perhaps someone out there needs it.

I saw something kinda funny, I am looking around making note of what real vintage dials I can get my hands on for later project watches... stuff I would buy to rebuild for myself.

Well I saw a dial that wasn’t cheap, it ended up being fake but the description said it was “printed with real Swiss Ink”.

Yes there are some decent looking fakes coming out of Vietnam that can fool the untrained eye...

As always, if you’re not sure, run it by the guys here. I’m pretty good but there is a phenomenal wealth of knowledge here that are happy to help.
