    Hi guys,

    Any thoughts on this dial? Worth buying in such condition? Feedback would be appreciated.

    Not for me. The dial is too damaged rather than even patina. The greenish (fungus?) thing is really a turn off. The case is also too polished for my taste.

    Something like this condition will make a no regret purchase.

    Kind of depends on the price and condition of the movement. That dial looks like it will clean up fairly well (no guaranty).

    Only if it's really cheap, and if you've got some experience at cleaning dials. It's not all that uncommon AFAIK, can always wait for another

    Bad one. The dial looks washed + that the case looks like if has had an "home-polish" = ugly!

    Have to agree the case is kind of yucky
