Not to be a stickler...but I disagree here.
That crown it's all a bit thick...and it looks not smooth to me.
Notice on the second spire...the paint is lumpy and raised and then the dot is flat. Same on the last spire and the hole is almost filled. Okay sometimes more ink could have been present originally but I'm going with my gut here.
The Y and the T in OYSTER are a bit too thick looking to me...like it has been touched.
In CHRONOMETER...OMETER and then a smudge looking to the right..and under the M and the T the same....it looks like there was some age issue there and possibly the letters lifted and were added back or augmented to cover for the situation.
It's a good dial I'm not shooting it down but the question was post for critique...so this is my opinion.
If you note the areas I mention and then look at the distant picture of the dial overall...they stand out off the screen.
If you look at your dial and also mine the printing is even all the way across..and the crowns are open and thin. The fonts may be a little sloppy as is normal...but they are even...in "presence".
Just an opinion and worth what it cost :-)
