dial feet question

If a dial (for a 1680) has the feet at 30 and 58 mins, says singer and has the small round machined recess in the back of it what else could it be apart from a gen dial (this is not a trick question)

I noticed it last night on my 1680 dial but i never took a picture of the back, it came in and MBW that i got from Narkortheblue

This is the front (remember i have relumed this)

I am assuming that this is not a gen dial right now but there is some evidence maybe it is a redial, i duno

Well, there are certainly 'replica' Singer dials; replica in the sense that yes, even the plates and stampings are non-genuine.

I'll take a pic tonight of a replica Singer dial plate. If I have an MBW, I will snap a pic of that one as well (those have a very obvious tell, as the Singer stamp is nothing like the real thing)

Okay... Found an old MBW dial in my archived pics (this is a REALLY old pic; please don't pay mind to the quality):

And here's gen:

Not the best pics, but I'll take more later this afternoon...

The interesting thing about gen dials is the finish on the back side of the plate. Usually a funky patina going on...
