  wow, more fantastic watches from our friends "overseas"!!! cant wait to see what they show us next! they MUST have a factory that does nothing BUT produce made up watch dials. there are also some WEIRD colored dials from that area too. BUYER BEWARE is ALL i can say.

If you want to see real rampant Mumbaitis, search on Favre-Leuba vintage watches. Favre-Leuba sold a LOT of watches in India, so most that are available on the used market come from there. And they all (with very rare exception) seem to have been turned into something utterly different than the original, using garish colors and half a pound of lume (like Butch's example). But at least the movements are full of corrosion (which gives one an idea of what the dial might have looked like before being given to the first-grade finger-painting class).
