    Hi OF,

    I'm thinking on taking the plunge on this watch! I've seen quite a few numbers of this model with normal "3" instead of the "flat-top 3" on the right subdial, my database also shows that some dials have a slightly thinner "Angelus" fonts inside the trapezoidal box. Can anyone please comment on the dial, perhaps on the area that I have marked on the photos below?

    Below are some examples around the net from a quick google search,

    Any help would be highly appreciated!

    It looks alright to me. However, the roman numerals seem to have degraded/worn out in a pretty interesting way...

    What is your concern? That it should be a redial? Looks perfectly original to me.

    You're good to go

    Yes you're right. If you have a look closely as well, the top half of the dial has a grainy patina and the bottom is all gloss.

    Well, everything looks good to my naked eye but when I look closely, it seems that the print is not as crisp as some of the other examples. I'm probably nitpicking but I thought I might just share it here first and see what you guys think.
