Hold the watch at eye level and look across the hands. They should travel in a flat plane above the chapter ring. A hand that droops will touch the marks or cast a shadow you can see from the side. The hour hand and the minute hand should share a finish. A later replacement often mismatches the color of the plots even when the shape is close. Say which hand disagrees. Do not say the whole dial is wrong. This is a furniture check. It takes one lamp and no tools, and it belongs in the note ahead of any story about where the watch has been.
How it differs
For the Piaget Aquanaut 1110p, compare the diameter you can measure with the length from lug tip to lug tip. A wide bezel can make the dial look smaller than the case. Keep the comparison inside this case idea.
Common mods
On the Piaget Aquanaut 1110p, people change the insert, the bracelet, or the hand set. Name the one part that was changed and leave the rest undescribed rather than guessing.
What to check on a used piece
Check the clasp position, the end-link gap, and whether the hands pass cleanly on the Piaget Aquanaut 1110p. Write those three and ignore the sales line. These notes are not authentication and not a shop.
A library page is written by {Site}. A photo post is one person’s notes. Neither authenticates a watch, offers it for sale, or speaks for the name on the dial.
