You can still access the ended listing by clicking the link at the top of the picture row:

There is an outfit in Israel that can restore this dial:

Gav Dials. Doesn't look easy, and I'm sure it's quite expensive.

Hope this helps,

So in your opinion this is not a redial job?

He does a great job but asks very high $$

Someone local to me offered me this, I know it's not the actual XVI but it has the same lugs and I kinda like it.

I'm just trying to determine whether the dial is original is not, the "S" on the Seamaster writing seems to be a later one, and there's a "T" after the "SWISS MADE" but there seems to be no lume on the dial (unless it's that black thing in the middle of the marker), and there's no lume on the hands as well. Is the dial repainted, or it's just the wrong hand set?
