I have pm'd you my thoughts

DadsWatch72 · 27 October 2009, 07:42 AM

The second "L" in Sea Dweller practically touches the "E" to the right in the reference picture. I see a larger space on yours.

The "A" in SEA sits over the M, but to the right a tad in the reference. Yours sits directly over the M more.

I also think the two red lines sit too close to each other. The spacing looks off to me.

I also don't think your "Swiss T<25" looks right. Here are a couple pictures of my dial for reference.

Sorry dapri, but I am afraid your dial is an infamous replica that originated from South Asia.

Have made cross-references with your dial with the "r-dials" to come to that conclusion. Do try to get your money back as soon as possible.

This was clearly a refinished dial with layered textured over the base, and indices overlayed with tritium.

Nonetheless, its always good to get advice from these experts around here at RF. If you need more details on my findings, please PM me.

Nice 16750 you got there! ;)

Thank you. It all turned out great. I think some people wanted me to go 100% vintage with the superdome and used bezel/insert. I probably dissapointed a few by not doing that. Please forgive me......

Thanks, David

Your a class act David. I can only imagine how your feeling. But even in your dissapointment you found time to pay a compliment. Your a good egg.

Perhaps that is why you were blessed with a very nice GMT.

I know its not a DRSD but its a beauty for sure.

Could you post some pics of the case, and part of the serial numbers. Im curious if the watch is all origional with a diffrent dial, or a mishmash of gen and fake parts.

I don't think anyone would be unless they were considering purchasing it when looking for a correct watch.
