| Post subject: | Red box gold box on gold 806 |
I am familiar with the red markings in post 67 806s, but just noticed this today and didn't see anything readily online to explain it. Here are 806 gold dials, one with a "gold box" that I hsve never noticed before. Is it correct? If so, Is there a significance in red vs gold, ie year or 18k vs pLated? Or is it a replacement?

it's faded from the original orange. correct for gold/GP pieces. here's a slightly less faded example

Thanks Fred - my images are 2 different watches, yes? The first one is well faded, yes, but the second one looks like gold to me, not faded.... |

WatchFred wrote: it's faded The fact that the sliderule is still red then implies it's a replacement? |

yes. but the fact that u have a boxed 10 dial and a non-boxed sliderule is enough to tell it's a replacement. red boxed 10 sliderules are almost impossible to find, orange ??? never seen one for sale. |
