Hello,

Pictures aren't the greatest, but does this dial look ok? The seller says it has not been refinished. Opinions much appreciated.

It's authentic but missing a few lume plots which would be a deal breaker for me. Plenty of better dials out there, they're not that rare.

interesting, the lume plots all look intact to me...

I've seen plenty of refinished black dials, but never a sunburst one. It seems this would be more difficult to refinish - the intricate surface means you can't just paint over it...

I think all the dots are in place, maybe just a couple slightly off colour. Dial looks good otherwise.

Looks like the 3/11 oclock ones are missing, but it could just be those "amazing" photos you were provided.

Edit: I do see the 3 oclock one now in the third pic, still can't make out the 11 but it's probably there.

Looks good assuming it is going on a late 70's or newer with quick set. I could be wrong, but all the early no quick set dials curve sown at the edge. This one is flat to accommodate the new quick set movement.
