I vote REDIAL...the reserve graph should be right under the indicator hand

Redial.  Compared to the originals there are some things that just aren't quite right.  I am not sure what luminous they used on that either, it looks odd to me (or maybe just how the pics look on my computer)

I could agree that lum was changed. It looks very green. Like a paint and dont glow.
But white dial with marks.logo and letters autographic is similar to the real. In specially letters. The font is absolutely correct!
I dont understand.  :#banghead

I think they may have copied the styles pretty well, but the execution is what gives it away.  Look at the difference in "Autographic".  Most of the ones I have seen are a thicker print for that word, whereas yours looks very thin.  That was the biggest indicator for me.

The one from the gallery doesn't look quite right either. The numbers on the reserve graph aren't very symmetrical. Evy's looks better in this regard. Maybe the indicator hand was shortened because the "eye" portion broke off?

I was basing my opinion on dials that I have seen in person, but it is hard to judge by just a picture sometimes
