I don't really know what to make of this without having it in hand, with a loupe, and a couple more Silverstones to hand for comparison. At first glance, I thought the word "SILVER" didn't align properly with "STONE" but I was intrigued enough to dump the photo into Photoshop and draw some extrapolation lines. And actually, they were aligned and there is also strong alignment between the Heuer text and the Silverstone text too. If it's a redial, it's a very good one.
