Note that these early gloss dials have a tendency to get age spots or speckles across the surface. Make sure you see better photos in angled lighting. Sometimes the blemishes are tough to pick up in straight-on photos. In the close-up photo of the dial, it looks as if there might be some of those imperfections on the dial, but hard to tell for sure.

Thanks for the input Swish and the bad photos are my fault as a result of was in a rush, I am not a great photog to begin with and I still have a button on my iphone.

I did not give the dial a super inspection, but I think at the price this watch is being offered, I am going to pass on it.

Thank you so much for those that chimed in!
