Coronet is too flat for it to be gen.
Well, if not gen it is a very good aftermarket dial in my humble opinion, and above all with a correct font. Much better than nowadays Noob ones

Not gen dial, a very nice one IMO but not gen. Also the watch has the popping sels as the WG models, picked it up for those two reasons. But was sold the other day due to the minimum use. Original owner posted some relevant info in the thread about the piece if you interested.

My idea was to take that dial an bracelet into a thinner spec case (Noob or ARF) with ARF clasp (idk if it matches) and get a nice 116509 in a reduced budget.

Thank you for your elaborate answer!

Currently I have sent a Noob and ARF 116520 white dial to Domi to create me an hybrid. I told him that many people here on the Forum suggest to shave the ARF bezel, but I guess - as the expert he is - he also knows this mod. I am relly excited to see the end result in a few weeks.

However I would also like to have a black 116520 hybrid and as I am to stingy to buy a gen Dial I will most likely buy the ARF doner watch albeit the small dial flaws. In my opinion the slightly fatter subdials on the ARF might pass as a period variation and is for me more acceptable than the wrong and to narrow 5 liner spacing on the NOOB.

I guess we all have our different preferences.

Subdials ARF 116520 are perfect bro. They are same to gen version 2015/2016 Chromalight.

Look my ARF V1 (bezel is beautiful) with my Gen 2016:
