Hi,
The subs refinishing is really not so good - especially the hours one. On both, note that the number '1' font is not correct. On the dial - @ positions 3, 6 and 9 -the repainting signs are quite noticeable. The 1/20th sec lines are shorter than expected at markers positions.
Particularly, I love this silver dial. It is my very favourite. The radial brushing finish produces some amazing effects according to the light conditions, going from bright silver to near champagne. Possibly you'll loose this feature having a repainted dial. It's hard to check it from the photo, but it looks somewhat solid in this watch.
Cheers!
