    43ABEFCF-70ED-46E1-B2BA-B71CF8346A28.jpeg Does anyone know if the following dial fits a 286 cal?

    I have seen sub seconds dial claim to be a cal 286. I usually see these with cal 268/269? Can anyone confirm if a cal 286 can use these? And would this be appropriate?

    Thanks. Any help is appreciated.

    No 286 is a sweep (center) second. That dial needs a sub second.

    Thanks. That is what I was thinking but some sellers and examples claim to be Cal 286. Thanks for confirmation.

    I wonder why can't they have an English version, at least Google translated. Even crappy Chinese sites selling rubish have it.

    Thanks a lot for the source. I was able to finally register and bid but didn’t find any dials today.


    Got linen dial, but the dial is dirty and Seamaster writing is broken. Better than nothing. Very rare dials.

    Here is a better pic of dial:

    Here is negative that shows dirty areas:

    You can see around 3 to 6 there is clearly dirt. And small spot at 8.

    For a linen dial, what would be best option for this dial? I like the coloration of markers. They give it a quality of petina bronze on salvage ships. But about dirt..idk if I can clean this on my own. Also the Seamaster writing how can I fix this withou full blown restoration? I probably will not relume professionally as I am on budget.
