If you're a serious bidder on a ref. 2497, you can ask the auction house for photos of the dial alone for a better look at things like the sanding marks or windows. But you can also look at the back of the dial and edge of the case to make sure it's the correct link dial for the movement. the movement number should be visible both on the dial link edge and link on the back of the dial, but sometimes those markings disappear.
