Welcome to TRF. You did not post a photo of your watch, so we cannot assist you. Additionally, you posted three other threads that were exactly the same. I deleted all of them.

If you need to post a photo, you can either link to a photo-sharing site where you have an account, or attach a photo that resides on your computer.

Good luck!

well, you're right, i was so upside down yesterday that i forgot to upload the picture.
no excuse, but my first thread on this site. probably that's why i posted several times the same thing, sorry for that.

hopefully i managed all right this time.

maybe works now.

Hi there,its a nice looking watch,
i personally wouldn't replace the dial,it may clean up very well,and if it didn't i still wouldn't change it,as i like it as it is.

I'm not exactly sure what you want to identify about the watch,as its all written on the dial,
but if you want to know the serial and model number,
they are under the bracelet between the lugs at 12 and 6 o'clock,and maybe inside the case back,and from them you can date your watch.
Hope that helped you.

looks like a nice vintage dial to me. I wouldn't touch it imho.

That AK isn't really that old. Looks like there's some moisture damage on the dial. If it were mine, I'd get it serviced and have the dial cleaned. You may have a bad gasket in the crown or a leaking crystal which is allowing moisture on the dial and the movement.

well, i have it serviced, twice till now, including bracelet, but the person from the workshop told me he cannot do anything for the dial.
it is moisture damage, that's what he told me about it.

You have three choices. 1. Leave the dial alone and enjoy a vintage dial. 2. Send it out and have it refinished (No, in my opinion!!). 3. Save the original dial and buy another one in better shape or a refinished one.
