what do you think about this dial ?

I am no expert but first let me say that your post title should read 1655

From what I have seen and heard, the small square indexes that circle the outer portion of the dial should be closer to the dial's edge.

Hi P,

It depends what case you want to put it in. It will likely not fit in a Chinese case and as Vlydog mentioned if you put it in a correct Vietnamese case the outer indices don't touch the rehaut and that's a dead giveaway that it's a redial.

I could be wrong but all the T Swiss T dials I've seen, which are the earliest 1655's all have a funky shaped coronet, often called a "frogs foot" (see below) and the standard looking coronet was on later models with the T Swiss <25 T dials.

When I think that I could have picked up one of these (genuine) for $1400 back in 1994.... :bangin:

And that was with the original box and paperwork.
