- 6:00 & 9:00 baguetts are crooked
- 1:00 & 11:00 diamonds overlap the day bevel
- Can't tell from the pic, but the diamonds showed visible carbon deposits

Great example of diamonds that look like they were just glued on a factory dial. The aftermarket POS I had on my old one years ago did not even have bagettes.
My Wife has a factory blue vignette with diamonds on her midsize and you can tell by the diamonds alone that it is not after market. I wonder if many aftermarket dials have super quality diamonds?
