    Seller did mention that the dial might have been repainted, just in case you missed it. Dennis will probably weigh in later.

    Me too. Dennis will probably be able to give you more constructive opinion.

    Yes, it's a redial so passing is a good idea. You can use direct links to eBay listings.

    Probably, but as soon as I see redials I don't look any further. (unless I'm hunting a parts watch)

    thanks gentlemen very much for your imput,vendor was prepared to take a fair drop on the price but once i had noticed the poor lettering on the dial i had lost all interest,i will carry on the search.cheers..greasemonkey
