Chrono24 Monaco 1533B Re-Dial - Buyer Beware!

Hi Guys

I've had some emails about this one, from potential buyers and people seeing my WTB advert and giving me a "heads up".

http://www.chrono24.com/en/heuer/ss-vintage-monaco-chronograph-gents-ww--id1690001.htm?query=monaco&suchen=Search&dosearch=true&searchexplain=1&resultview=list&dosearch=true&urlSubpath=/search/index.htm&searchResultIndex=9

I also had an email response from the seller who told me he would take it off chrono24 or change the text, this was yesterday, so far it remains.

Please beware this is not an original dial. Everything else is fine but it is a re-painted dial. I guess seeing as it is a "set" the seal went and the prior owner authorised this replacement non original dial at some point.

The "Swiss" lettering should have 2 dashes either side (as both calibre 15 variants should do) and the Monaco placement is incorrect. The "crosshairs" for the perpetual second hand is also the wrong size and the paint finish is i expect not as the original.

Cheers

Rich

Here's the "Head Shot" (or maybe the "Mug Shot")
At least the hands look original...
