Re: It's most likely a fake
In Response To: date window ()

Beware! I have the same dial but with "Calculator" and not "Montreal" printed on it. The quality is admittely very good for a fake but if you check out the Gallery of Fakes on OTD you will notice that Jeff has already highlighted these fakes dials (see the pics). I also recall reading somewhere (it may have been this forum) that there is a factory in Taiwan which churns out these dials. I would avoid at all costs - I have a blue dial Montreal in mint condition and I have compared it against my fake Calculator dial - the quality of the real thing is far superior. Hope this helps your decision
