HELP! Advice for 1680 Mk5? dial...

Dear forum. I have been offered a -obviously MK5?- dial for 1680 redsub.
Please see pictures attached.

It has a open 6 but the dial seems to be "washed"? Furthermore, some details I dont like.
What do the specialists think about it?

Thanks in advance for input!

Regards

Various things aren't adding up. I would not rate it as "legit."

Nothing like the correct ones here's. Just one glaring error is the right hand bit of L and how it lines up with E in ROLEX

I am thinking the same as paul said. Some things aren’t adding up; weird printed the ROLEX, dirty dial and lume looks to flat to me tbh.

Good luck on your search!
