What model number is etched in the case and what is the serial number range? Does it have its original warranty paper? Is there any documentation supporting the T Co mark on the dial?

These are really bad pictures, the dial looks like it’s been aged with marmite, the Tiffany label just adds to my skepsis..

Judging from the pictures you've posted the hands look like shorter replacement hands. Also the bottom right lug looks very odd to me with the misplaced hole. Hard to judge the dial based on those pics.

The dial is fake or repainted. The fonts are too big and the wrong type. The case also feels wrong, but would need to see more detailed photos showing numbers etc. Stay away.

I'm gonna go with a modified or redial.
Movement may check out as well as other parts so it might not be all worthless. Still wouldn't pay for it Sent from my MAR-LX2 using Tapatalk |

I'm certainly not recommending the watch, but that hole isn't out of place. You are just looking at a really over-polished and worn out case.

Ok thanks for all your help. I could not get better pictures and now when I tried to contact him the ad was market as sold.
So I guess some one maybe did a bad deal. And again, thanks for all help |

Not my area of expertise, but a good deal on a Tiffany dial does not exist. These pieces should only be purchased from the most reputable of vintage dealers.
