Thanks Wayne.

My dial is different to your photo, but good match to the parts list catalogue( numerals vs batons), lume looks to good. Redial?

Not a redial. Note how the 45's are lined up perfect and so are the 6 and 30 at the bottom of the dial. All the seconds are evenly spaced going around the dial with perfect fonts. Subs are filled in and inner circle around dial is round and even. These are areas that redialers are notorious for getting wrong. Older relume is possible.

If you look at the top left of the movement diagram you will see this dial in white.

I'm leaning to redial, at least in reference to your images wayne, unless there are other dial versions. Look at the tach ring for example as a comparison?

If that's a redial it's just about the best I've ever seen - original for me.

you don't need my confirmation, Roff & Rene, but yes, can confirm this dial existed - and it's clearly not a refinish.

do so with a heavy heart, as this watch was stolen from my car and probably ended up on some flea market among junk.
