Images taken from a little closer would assist, but it looks good from our helicopter.
Just wondering if anyone can tell from the following pics if my Wife's DJ has a factory fitted or aftermarket diamond dot dial. We have the full set but not any history apart from when it was purchased from a Jewelry Quarter dealer in 2011 and we bought it private about 6 years ago.
It's a 1991 69173 btw

You have a helicopter? we can't even afford a drone.
Anyway, do you think it's factory fitted? Is there any way of telling from the serial number?
Just sprayed my Cardhu malt whiskey all over the duvet!!!!!

Any better?
Natural light usually helps.
As we drop below 1,000ft I remain convinced that the dial is genuine.
No way of knowing if it is original to the watch, but nor is that of any great consequence.
As for taking pics with any phone, this process will generally get as good a result as possible :
1. Put on a window sill on the North-facing side of your dwelling (generally creates a nice, even light without distracting shadows)
2. Do not zoom in at all.
3. With elbows resting on the sill to reduce shaking, slowly move your phone camera closer until the image of the dial goes out of focus, then carefully pull back only until focus is crisp again
4. Only NOW should you zoom in, holding the camera in the same position
5. Revel in gloriously crisp image OR take advantage of window proximity, throw phone out of it and ask a teenager to assist.
