·Curious if anyone ever seen a dial in such bad condition yet the name, logo and minute track in good condition? Curious what could cause such a thing. Heat perhaps?

Actually no, blue dials have unique and distinct way of deterioration. Regular silvered and lacquered dials its usually damage to the lacquer and then the underling finish.
