Same experience here . . . I started a PowerPoint comparing an original Abercrombie dial with a refinished one, and never dug my way out of it. I found myself wanting more technical information about how dials are produced, and how they are refinished . . . but in the end decided that it wasn't worth the effort.

: I did start a piece dissecting a BN redial fault by fault. Got quite a way with it, but it's quite a depressing subject so I never actually finished...
