    Hello IWC experts,

    Can someone give some input regarding this dial? The AUTOMATIC gives me pause, does it look like a redial? Considering purchasing this one.

    The Automatic aside - a bigger concern are those PORTOFINO type hands!

    Thanks for the feedback. I actually have some dauphine hands I could replace them with, but are these portofino hands not seen on 853's? Excluding the hands, does this dial look original?

    Thanks

    Dial looks OK in my opinion.
    But cannot say 100% as the pic is not of adequate resolution.
