Refinished Dial: Poor Quality or High Quality ? ? ?

Mark is right, that this dial is "just plain bad".

I started to pick at it, and then realized that for most readers / members of this community, there is not that much of a difference between a "poor quality" refinished dial and a "high quality" refinished dial. I can't recall when we last gave a watch good marks for having a good quality refinished dial . . . huge deduction from value, whether high or low quality on the refinished dial . . . most of our readers would not want to own a Carrera with either form of refinished dial.

: Pushers are wrong too. Markers look odd, particularly that one at
: 12.

: And that dial is just plain bad. The Heuer shield is awful, the
: register markings were never like that and these were in silver
: or charcoal, later blue, never in white.
