    That's trash.

    Find me a Genève dial with the large pink/rose gold markers that's shitty. I need a spare marker or two. ;)

    Of course, not as ridiculously expensive for a ruined item though. :p

    Could take that further, but I won't for the sensibilities of our viewing audience.;)

    So the South Americans are no longer doing their own crappy redials, but selling them downstream? Interesting change in market dynamics.....what next, Ukrainians no longer willing to solder lugs onto pocketwatches?:rolleyes:

    Well I suppose that's OK as long as the dials continue to have dragons on them and there are lots of pictures of Luftwaffe pilots in the ads. That's what guarantees authenticity, you know....

    Yeah, saw a nice one I was going to buy one engraved, "Sgt. Alvin C. York - 328th Infantry" ,But I decided I would wait until I could get an officers watch.
