    I don’t know much about these, but I’ve noticed quite a lot of suspiciously pristine white dial re-dials in the last few months

    Makes me look carefully at the numbers: 4s, 3s and 7s are often wrong (done differently in old fonts: open 4s, 3s with a triangular top bit, 7s can be curved or hooked)
    Old numbers are often thinner too
    It's the final countdown! PM me before they're all gone!

    Don't mind new dial/hands , but should be original design not anything lying around

    well as I said think recon on this one probably right movement /case the rest is new or thats the way I am looking at it

    but you have the old white dial ones then I thought you had the ones with gold or silver disc in the centre of the dial and seem some that was different again but can't remember how off the top of my head ..

    so for me would probably go for a recon one but at say £40 ish price point

    etsy always have over priced one's on their I always think it's a hipster buying location as they do seem to sell for twice what they would on the bay

    think from time to time they must buy the boxes if the right ones as do see joblots of old boxes on the bay some times
