I'm doubtful that the dial has been refinished, but I'll try to look at some other samples, to see how it compares. One problem, of course, is that we have seen very few samples of these watches.

I guess that one of the things about online sales is that the prospective purchasers don't get to inspect the watch in the metal. It would be an awful thing to pay $13,750 for this watch, and then open the box to see a refinished dial.

Who knows . . . maybe we will hear from the winner of this watch.
