    I believe most of you have seen this dial on ebay, but i cannot see a post about it.

    I really like that kind of dials and i am considering to buy and safe it for future use.
    I looked a bit around but i cannot find the ref it fits to as the "S" of Speedmaster is pretty long.

    Thanks for your help

    I think this is a so called "cooked" dial meaning that this one was artificially man-induced modified to appear "tropical"...
    As far as I can seen on the picture, the S is too long. It is possible it was modified after the cooking process...

    If you like it great, but it's not worth anything to most people. I think this comes under the old adage of "How do you make a dial worth $100? Start with one that was worth $1500".

    I'm guessing this was reprinted after the cooking?
