77T, thanks for the feedback. Reviewing other Tiffany & Co stamped Datejust examples online I am noting that the stamp typically starts above the first "E" in SUPERLATIVE and ends between the first "E" and "T" in CHRNOMETER. The stamp on this version appears to be too large from what I am seeing. Additionally, there is a smudge along the chapter ring between the 53rd and 54th second markings which could further evidence dial tampering.
Sigma dial and chapter ring seem in line with the model, serial, production date. Open to all further thoughts on this. Was optimistic that I found a rare dial variation but aware there are plenty of fakes out there.
