In your experience, would this sort of dial discolouration be permanent or could it normally be cleaned? |

only a very, very competent "dial doctor" can tell, it could be discoloration, it could be nicotine residue - let Craig try, you could get lucky (or end up without a pulsations scale)  jokes aside, good chance Craig will get it off, you won't try a DIY cleaning job, will you ?

Light patina live with. The older the more risky trying to clean a dial. Craig can tell you just hitting an old dial with a blast of compressed air can remove paint. You might be able to find a replacement dial for the one pictured as it's not all that old. |

Dial condition is the most important thing and I can wait for a good example, and one will come along in the future. |

Imho your dial is very acceptable as is and your "slightly patinated" 2030 remains quite desirable even with its "slightly spotted" dial . Datora dials sometimes are popping off on ebay, it lets you an hope to be lucky and find a NOS in the near future ? |

I'm not desperate for one, I can wait. It's not like it's a 1954 Navi, rarely to be seen again. |
