So we learn that (a) there was definitely a problem with this batch of paint, and (b) this case seems to be original to the dial. They seem to have solved the paint problem by 157 224, as that one remains a perfect blue, to this day.

: Strange one.
: Dial looks like it's also suffered from a sticky gasket front and
: back which maybe affected the Cal 12 movement, not 11,
: which looks like its marked also.
: Case edges all rounded.
: Serial number 157221.
: 54000SEK
: approx 4700GBP/7800USD

: So, I wonder what makes it that price?
: Would the original Cal11 have made a big difference?
