with the "12" and "6" on the hour recorder in the same horizontal line as the other numerals, and the same for the "30" and "15" on the minute recorder, I am suspicious of this one. for a watch with such a limited production run, it's difficult to imagine that there were actually two executions (or two batches) of dials.

with most of the previous fakes that have had these "flat" / inline numerals, we have had another "telltale" . . . a red numeral on the date disc or the wrong finish on the PVD. I don't see a second telltale here, but perhaps that's only because we are looking at such small photos.

: Monaco PVD's are hot right now, and here is another one that's

: So is it an original dial? The case looks to be original, the hands
: too but the original heuer dial is different from the rest of
: the Monaco line-up in the way the sub register numbers sit. The
: original dial has the middle set of numbers sitting wider apart
: than the numbers to the left and right. Therefore the 30 and 15

: I guess with this one on Chrono24, although it is a good looking

: a redial (albeit a good one), i'd love to see a hi-res close up,

: I suspect that with a POA the price might well be on the high side,
