Buyer Inspection Checklist

Under angled light, what do you see?

How to Inspect Properly

• Use angled daylight or soft side light
• Compare multiple macro photos
• Check marker height/shadows and print edges
• Judge sunburst movement as the watch tilts

Real dials usually look more coherent in texture, sharpness and finishing consistency.

Important Limits

High-quality counterfeits exist. Weak finishing is a warning sign, not automatic proof.

For high-value purchases, use professional authentication. This tool does not certify a watch.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I spot a fake watch dial? Look for soft printing, flat sunburst response, uneven indices and inconsistent logo spacing.

What does a real sunburst dial look like? A more continuous, lively radial reflection that changes cleanly when tilted.

Are applied indices always real? No. Judge height, alignment, finishing and overall dial coherence together.

Can photos alone authenticate a dial? No. Photos help screening only.
