Yeah, pretty ugly. Brown crud all over the dial. So I washed it.<br>

Now, this is what arrived... the redial! Noice!<br>
(ignore the hands in the foreground... spare Archimede flieger hands)<br>

All that is needed is a new crystal and re-assembly...

And what's the current thinking on the practice? I was told in the past that a redial could never match the original, but I'm seeing some really convincing redials these days.

BTW, what a nice watch!
