I must say it looks good.
IMO it´s original.

Thanks to Sihong and Dennis for the pictures and Ludwig for the comments. I'm going to post better close-up pictures for your comparison but looks very near identical to mine.

all these look good to me, can't see too well on Detlev's examples though
what always worries me though is the similarity to another spange of this design. without a loupe are the same. I can't work out if they are different manufacturers of one's a repro of the other
All the ones shown here seem to match pebble-for-pebble and I'm with you lot on this, they got to be good!
here's a comparison of just the date boxes shown. the bottom one is the one that always throws a spanner in the works, (differences are clear-ish) but i think the examples on this thread have shown that the top 3 are surely good

James, Yours is identical to Dennis' and mine.

Jon, Do you have a whole pic of the forth one(the bottom one) you posted? Just want to have it for reference.
Thanks.
