That you for your comments seekingseaquest. I will take them into account on future threads.
This thread however got off track right out of the gate. I already own the watch and was merely asking the forum (I know; people) for my reference number and nothing more. But I guess the forum/people couldn't resist asking the Redial question. If it wasn't Mark I am quite sure someone else would have. The Forum Vintage Posting Guide in item 4 says to "Let us know whether this is a watch you ALREADY own or a watch you are CONSIDERING purchasing, as generally a watch someone already owns will be treated in a more gentle fashion, while a watch that is "under consideration" should be assessed with a more critical eye".

This rule was essentially recognized by iamvr who posted earlier in this thread:
"However, the OP never asked for an opinion on the dial, only the reference number. So should we even bring this topic up and make an owner feel bad about a watch he/she previously liked? Personally, I would say, no, unless the watch is clearly intended for sale (to protect the buyer), which doesn't seem to be the case here."
So, I tried to turn the conversation away from the redial issue (which the forum/people dealt with) and make it into a learning experience but posters kept coming back to a question I never asked. And put me on the defensive.
I will use the forum in the future but I doubt I will ever post a picture of a watch that I already own again. I can more fully appreciate this meme (thanks to bgrisso for the meme):
