Hey, folks-- came across this wide T speedy dial. Looks legit to me and in pretty good shape overall. I do notice some slight "bleed" around some of the hour markers on the right side of the dial. I might suspect re-lume but the markers elsewhere on the dial don't have this and they appear to match well, with the general shape of the lume on the markers appearing consistent/appropriate for the era. The color, though, is a bit greenish. Very curious to hear what others think... Thx!

Looks good to me. Green tint is not uncommon.

I personally would prefer a warmer patina but personal taste aside, condition looks good and no originality flags are raised

Thanks for the look. Yes I agree on the color of the lume--not my favorite. These things don't come up often in decent condition, though....

Might want to make confirm which caliber movement the dial fits😀.

Say more. I would think cal 321, but you’re saying possibly a transitional 861?

Yup, 145.022-68 perhaps.

But that would be lower probability, correct?
