Oxblood Stella 2-string dial - Opinions?

I’m contemplating this 5-digit DD with oxblood Stella 2-string dial. Given the widespread fakery of Stellas, I’ve previously bought them from dealers I personally trust ... This seller, OTOH, while a large and established outfit, is not one I know, and is overseas to boot.

It’s represented as a genuine, factory, unaltered, Stella oxblood 2-string diamond dial, and the seller claims it has NO cracks in the lacquer. I’ve asked for additional macro photos, but these are the best I received.

I’d very much appreciate any thoughts, observations, and opinions on the originality of this dial (or anything else you may see!).

Thanks, as always, for TRF members’ generosity in sharing your expertise.

Case looks brand new.

Regardless of anything else, you'd be a brave man to buy a widely faked watch from an unknown seller who's based overseas and won't send you the photos you want. That's a dealbreaker from the start for me, before we even start looking at dial authenticity.
