: was hoping to get some feedback on dial authenticity. He said it

I'm sure you realise this already, but be aware that this is not a 'Siffert' Autavia in the truest sense - that epithet belongs to the 1163T. This is a manual-winding 73363, and is priced accordingly (currency symbol isn't showing up here, but I'm assuming $) - though perhaps a touch high given it is essentially head-only and with quite a heavy looking polish done to it.
That said, the watch in question looks clean enough, and the seller has been honest in their description regarding the case polishing and re-lume.
