If you mind that both can compare, I suggest that you buy new glasses!
Imho, this one is absolutely authentic but looks as issued from a clinical restoration ... It is hard to believe that even sleeping in a safe , a 70 years old Watch can be so unpatinated. I assume that SN is good but aesthetical surgery has been so heavy on this one that it looks new .

looks like a perfect restoration - totally incomparable to that fabrication.

seller is low or no recent feedback, but listing design is known to me,
exact same design is used by a Swiss seller that has been listing
"too good to be true" perfect restoration pieces - and achieving
sky high prices.

This is a refinished dial, but it is a real masterpiece - you
have to put an original dial next to it to expose the errors
and several omissions:

Yes, if the person producing those dials offered legitimate restoration services he would never be short of business. As it is we have to be grateful that the attention to detail is lacking so that the differences are still there.
