I would seriously keep it. It's certainly more unique and interesting than the correct version. [nt]

Funny story tonight in a Swiss Newspaper: look carefully at this dial.....!

The story: guy purchases watch for his wife's birthday. All good so far. She gets it, still all good. She shows it to friends - oops: there are two "9" and the "8" is missing. Protest with Tissot. Tissot says: send us the watch, we want to make sure it is...  

the picture looks doctored

and the 7 seems too big - out of proportion to other numerals. Cazalea

LOL! [nt]

Crazy and thanks for showing this one Dean Cheers, HSTE

IWC sold a few of this pocket watches with the wrong dial ...

.... until they noticed the mistake. They even showed it in the official catalog. So this is a very rare watch for collectors today. Picture from u2112 Cheers Dean ...  

No mistake is excusable

but you can almost forgive IWC for not picking up on that, with the very elongated Romans. I can't imagine how Tissot missed the "Double-niner"!

Excellent! ;) [nt]

Not even the most complicated wristwatch in the world is perfect...

as you'll notice if you look at the double-digit numerals (note: the 'eaten' ones are the most important ;-)): That was the obvious mistake, the more hidden one was the moon phase indicator which ran in the wrong direction... oh yes, the mastery of compli...  

That is funny

Honestly and in my humble opinion I really don\'t think that there is a fake tissot piece or a company, the watches are too cheap to make a fake or a replica. don\'t you think? All the bets Alex
