    I'm not gonna lie, I'm a newbie in vintage watches. So I need to know if I exchange my dial for one in a better condition of the same model and reference, would It make a significant difference?

    The first pic was a solid Gold watch I bought for 380 dollars, and the dial has a lottle scrap on it. Its missing panting.
    I found this dial on internet wich looks exactly the same but on better conditions.

    You can see by hour markers the hands aren't original.

    By the way, the new dial comes with genuine hands

    In this case, I don't see a downside to replacing the dial and hands.

    Simple dial swap at next service shouldn’t cost anything as the dial is already off ;)

    ( meaning, I wouldn’t just swap the dial without servicing )

    I don't get It. Would you swap It?

    Yes at a service.
    ( if you do it during a service it shouldn’t cost you, but paying for just a dial swap would cost as much as a service )
