    Please give me your critical input on SECOND dial pictured for a ref 2852. (Had no choice but to refinish...see before and after pictures)
    Third picture with silver arrowheads was used by dial refinisher for reference.

    Not a well done job. Lots wrong - fonts wrong and not well printed, minute has marks not properly aligned and finish on dial is wrong.

    It's not very crisp, and the lettering is unfinished (look at the F's in OFFICIALLY).

    Which refinisher(s) can do a superior job?

    +1 I can see that it's a redial, but I've seen worse ones...it always boils down to the text..the thickness/spacing gives it away

    Hoi's mate did some of the most complimented jobs around but I'm guessing he's in Vietnam
