This was a very cheap ref4502 with an unrestorable dial. It was sent to Craig for service and dial refinishing.

Craig sent the dial to Kirk Rich Dial in California And it came back great. Here is the final product even though it would have been better with a good original dial! It is definitely acceptable.

Classic and timeless dress piece - much better that refinishing than something that you can't wear and enjoy.
