with no disrespect to the OP, they're pristine in large part because, with the possible exception of the steel Roman numeral example, they aren't original.

Controversy?
By: Tony C. : April 21st, 2020-09:13
I was simply stating facts, and there shouldn't be anything controversial about facts. Any collector with experience with 30T2Rg Chronometres can easily tell that those are either refinished or later replacement dials. Regards, Tony C.
Tony is on the money. One legit chronometer in this thread . . .

. . . is the steel ref 2366 . . . . . . fitted with a Causmann dial from the '90s and a replacement crown. No movement image provided, but it should have a 30T2rg inside. This one is the homage produced in the mid-'90s in yellow gold . . . . . . and white...
Hi Art! These may be the Rolex "Blueberry" equivalent....

That's the association I'm having here, anyway. I've always assumed the dials on my "twins" are not original. They're below, with display backs that I had Wuischpard make many years ago -- of course, I still have the original casebacks that are stamped 23...

. . . are fairly slim in my estimation, Tony. If it's an original dial, then it has to be one of the fittest survivors imaginable. Nearly perfect examples exist, but considering the rest of the collection, I tend to doubt this particular dial was made by ...
Agreed

Thanks Art! I am well, and hope that you are also healthy and well. I was being charitable, and suspect strongly that it is a modern German/Austrian re-dial. All the best, Tony
Dials of unknown origin

Hi Forumers, I have been absent for some time and nearly missed this post. I am sorry to let you know that none of these dials are original. And no, these dials were not made by Causemann. Causemann is not a dial manufacturer but only a restorer. He would...
