    Needs a bezel, and sold for USD Equiv of $5000. Its a 296x xxxx according to the seller, so I suppose it could have either a DO90 or early DN90.

    Browns are always hard to judge in the photos, but I think this was a nice one.

    Surely not sold by recent member @sydneywatchguy ...?

    It does look like a nice dial.

    Damn you're talking about a Speedy. I was thinking chocolate candy for some damn reason mmmmm... I still can't grasp that a faded dial is worth more to some. After all I wouldn't pay more far a car with faded paint, or discolored interior bits. Just one mans opinion. ::stirthepot::::popcorn::

    Wonder why? :D

    One man's faded dial is another man's desirable patina.
