    Got this parts watch, should I put a UG service dial, or an original patina dial ?

    10 years ago, I would have said swap with the new dial. Now, I prefer an old watch to look........old. Patina = Connoisseur
    Your worst dial is better than my best, btw :)

    Dial on the right, to match the luminous hands.

    Dial on the right.

    1. If it's going to be a replacement dial either way, might as well look pristine.

    2. What Dre said.

    + 7 might as well make it look clean.

    Another option ! Metallic sheen arabic numerals. I think this dial would look good myself ! Thanks for the members inputs ! I think the spare dial on the left may look good on this watch.
