Your opinion please. Original or refinished?

I have this eberhard pre extra fort from the end of 1930‘s. - got it trough an auction a few years back. The dial is very clean which made me think that it may have been an older refinish.

However looking at the close ups, the quality of the print is extremely good and use of font consistent ( except for the 6, for which there is open and a closed font)

Your opinion please.

I think you need to compare it to other examples rather than whether the dial paint is authentic.

Can you find the exact same dial that is known to be original or several matching dials. This would be how I would approach it. If you say there are no matching dial then you have your answer. Bill

Subdials

The subdials of the chronograph should generally have circles inside of them, but do not. In addition, is the dial signed Swiss or Swiss made at 6?
