Is it just me or is the font on the subdial a little bit chunky too? I’ll caveat by saying I’m not in the Pogue WIS brigade by a long way so it may be fine?

I posted on TOF, but then considered the differences between the T and R dials. There seem to be very few silver R dial 6139-6002 examples to use for comparison. One sold and discussed last year looked very similar to this. The dial certainly looks very clean.

Looks good to me. I have seen people fake dials, but I have never seen people fake dial lume 'mung'.

Tachy ring is mis-aligned which could indicate that it has been worked on. Pics of the movement would be a big +.

I note the tick marks on the subdial don't go all the way too the edge. I don't think that's an issue. Look at it here courtesy of "The Spring Bar" website. Tick marks do not go to edge. Plus there's some gunk on the lume in your photos. That's a heck of a clean dial. Inner bezel looks good. Bezel insert is legit. Honest case. I'd go for it. I don't see many Silver dials and would love one for my collection.

Here's mine for reference, dial code alignment looks pretty well the same, but also not a WIS expert on dials.

Looks like your friend bagged a good one. Mines a bit gross in comparison.
