Could you please take a look and confirm if it was real or franken? Seller claims that it has original untouched dial and original steel hands. Especially hands looks quite odd for me but I might be wrong. Don't have any picture with serial number yet.
Richter's book says that it should be with 30 min counter but some pictures shows 1190 with 45 min counter so I'm a bit confused.

case is clearly refinished, so no way this dial is original.
nice work, but for me definitely a redial, hands are strange indeed.

Redial also looks too small for the case, unless it's just an angle - too much blank space at the edge.

I examined some more pictures from different angles (one attached) and definitely too much blank space. Hands seems to be recent laser cut. I'll pass on this. Thanks for your opinions.
