Worth a read if you have the time. Silver gilt dials are real. Gilt doesn’t refer to gold in this very specific niche context.

·Hey there, I’ve only just seen this thread, but it was in fact me with whom you were in a bidding war with on e-bay back in April. As you say it certainly is a pretty special dial and it’s nice to see it restored. If you ever do decide to sell then please let me know. Many thanks, Liam

·Ah yes - for me was the rare combo of sharktooth indices and black dial. probably my favourite dial configuration on these old seamasters.

·For what it’s worth I’d also call this silver gilt. For me that’s an accurate description.
