    From that photo its a bit icky, but I could live with it, especially if the rest of the watch is nice.

    +1, the aging is a little more concentrated towards the top left portion of the dial but still much better than a redone dial.

    If dial is original, it is much better than most. I'd leave it alone.

    If it has already been redialed, then no harm in doing it again.

    Please do not touch that dial! It looks great.
    If you are not happy with it you can always sell it(to me):p
    Have a nice sunday!

    Thanks for the input, but I had no plan to alter the dial. I was just wanting some input before I buy. I had a couple more pics sent to me and the dial is not a grey, but a nice tan brown. I should have it by the weekend.
