1/ Dial was a defect part , hard to think that it passed thru visual controls . Reason would be a damaged ink transfer pad during printing process.
2/ assuming that this bad part would have been '" recycled" by some mysterious event , it has received lume dots in excess ansd these lume dots have spreaded all round their normal place .
Strange dial ok; marvelous dial nok ... just a survivor from quality controls .

It's what happens when you work in a redialing workshop and take the kids to work during school holidays and let them have a go...

Could this be due to the crystal being deformed?

Are there any additional pictures where the deformed dials looks the same from different angles?

The third picture in the series shows the minute hands pretty warped towards the end. Not enough to go on for sure, but not impossible either.

I went ahead and just asked the seller for more details on the ebay listing. Will update if they provide any better pics.

dial was cleaned (someone tried to clean it incorrectly) printing came loose from the dial and started swimming and was then then dried with this result
