Red Sub Dial-Legit??

I'm considering this Mark IV dial; looks legit to me-
Thought I'd ask for help; backside is grey with a weak Singer stamp

Very rare to find a red dial for sale. You’re right to be cautious. Looks like a bit of damage but it looks okay to me. I’m admittedly not the best at spotting fakes though.

Try DRSD.com There is a section there on identifying red Sub dials. Also, there are some photos of fake dials that might help you out.

Thanks for the responses; I'm hoping for an expert forum eye. I've been through all the special reference sites in detail and to my un-expert eye the dial holds up as a legit Mark IV. Red over white print, waffle like luminous, ...all the fixings. I'll try to post a more detailed picture to help

I never noticed that some may be not centered :
this one looks closer toward the 05:00 than 10:00


maybe it is due to the picture paralax
