Check this web site which has a lot of great info for red Subs and Sea Dwellers. Click the "watch info" tab to find out anything you need to know about the red Subs.

According to the data there, your Mark IV dial falls within the parameters for your serial number.

I saw one 3.32M with MK5 dial before.
So I just want some expert to see if it is correct period.
Thanks a lot.

3.2 is an acceptable case to have an MKIV dial.

Looks great, but it looks like the bezel insert has been replaced to me.
