Hi guys, I find this one locally, I always always always want to have a black orriginal patina dial and well.. this one showed up today. Beautiful the only problem that make me have 2nd thought is that all the pics that I found on the internet abou the model 165.002 with the same markers and hands are white dial, not a black one. So I need your wiseful opinion. Do you think that this blackie is original. Gracias, Harry

That black dial looks original to me. Only thing missing is the lume pips at the marker ends which have likely been removed due to crumbling. My only criticism would be the case looks quite polished. Not keen on the patina either but each to their own on that point!
It looks correct to me and I believe I can see the (small!) lume pips. It looks as if it has the original yellow gasket, which is both good and bad - factor in a good service
