1st your 2006 (Swiss) dial is different to your 2012 (<25) dail. So you or someone has changed it out since the service in 2006.
If you have changed it back since the 2006 service then I like what you have done in 2012  . The way I initially read this was the watch had aged since the 2006 service. Disregard my opening sentance. Cheers |

Was the dial shown in 2004 the original? Shouldn't a PCG have a gilt dial? I'd have kept the original dial, I think. Maybe get a new/other minute hand, and a new plexi and service the movement. Looks good now though!

It looks very nice but it does not appear to be period correct.

My guess was also that there where other parts involved . . .
The patina between '06 & '12 . . . was to obvious A really different watch you got now . . . I like it . . . parts may not be time/year correct but you can always swap HAGOne

I love the patina, would have preferred guilt dial to be more period correct. Looks great

I have no idea if it is period correct or not, but I like the 2012 version. Then again, I like the 2006 version as well :)

I like the look but from a collector's point of view it decreases value. Great look though

I like the 2012 faded look it gives it such a vintage feel.
