Mine says hello

Dial has a very rare shiny grey tone that matches the ghost bezel nicely. The discoloration doesn’t look as bad in person.

No T dial, silver tension ring.

Is that actually one of the grey dial speedies? the damage is similar to others....

IMHO, agree with other comments... think twice before cleaning the dial. I think it looks very nice as it is, and cleaning puts that lovely dial at risk. Personally, I wouldn't do it... but each must decide for themselves.

Yes it is, mine has extensive discoloration around the step. It certainly has the same type of damage which could be confused with scratches, but it is actually a strange form of patination/paint loss that doesn’t affect the white markers.

Central flat feet logo, as it should be, right?
