Has a 30 minute counter and 30 minute movement so that's not an automatic issue. Only had a couple of seconds as I am in meetings all day, but dial looks refinished. Everything else looks OK, but slightly surprised to see an unmarked movement this late.

It's not a fake but certainly isn't 100% original. Dial shows age spots but the logo looks like it might have been redone along with the Swiss Made. Would need a closer look to tell for sure. Movement bridge would probably be signed in this model so it's most likely a replacement.
