Opinions on this JLC Memovox

Hello All!

Was thinking of making a purchase on this vintage JLC Memovox. I've done some research and everything appears to be correct. Working on getting a movement pic. However, I am going "back and forth" on if this dial has been repainted. Wanted to check in here to see if anyone else can put their eye on it and render an opinion.

Thanks!

I think the dial is refinished.
Most Memovox's have a thinner font.

I did find one that appeared to have the same thickness though.
Comparing the two:
1. I thought that the loop at the end looked to tight, not enough silver can be seen.
2. on the last "E" it appears the middle line is bent up and it should be straight
3. The "e" in LeCoultre does not appear centered correctly compared to other watches.
On the other watches it appears the center of the JL lines up with the left side of the "e" where as this watch it appears to be centered on the "e".

It does look like a very good redial though.

Thank you very much for the evaluation on this. I have to agree on all counts. Just wanted to get some validation from forum.
