Actually we could do with better pics to see the metallic dial grain and text to be "sure".

There is a possibility it is a factory refinished dial, as thinking it through more slowly this was my most recent suspicion about the 1533B that we see with a "grey" coloured sub dial. Somehow redone at Heuer for some reason. Why? Who knows.

Better pics may reveal the script is correct, as alignment looks close, just script looks too "straight".

: Do we have an explanation for this unusual looking dial?
: Refinished? Faded? Factory irregular?

: For purposes of reference, I am also showing a couple of "good
: ones" below the hashed line.
