I picked this up a few months ago - primarily attracted by the rice bezel - and a bit of a prayer that the dial could be cleaned up. Alas, there was some permanent damage to the dial and sliderule. Not the best purchase of my life.
Hopefully some day I might come across replacement dial and sliderule. Dialfactory has a sliderule on the bay but it has a funny mottled green colour to it which is odd. Would appreciate any leads if anyone has any!
I would say that an interesting learning for me is high magnification photos make any imperfections look truly awful! The watch looks good in my wrist but I would never have entertained the idea of purchasing this watch in its current state from high mag photos. I might be a bit more lenient in future on what acceptable condition is.
