At first glance these two dials seam pretty much identical.
If you look closely there are quite a few differences:
-wings logo
-the writing under this logo
-the hands are different
-the font is different

and obviously the sub dials are different :roll:

Was this done by accident or deliberately to thwart off the reps?

Of course they are different, one is Arabics and the other is batons. :D
Hands should be the same.

You have too much spare time. :lol:

The font sure looks different, but I think I agree with bnewbie on the hands. My guess is that the light/dark background plays an optical trick to your eye.

Its just that, some people will compare the Arabic dial TT Chronomat, to the other one and assume
that one of them is a fake cause the font is different and lines up differently under the date square...
In all honesty, I was one of those people :oops:
