What do you think of this dial? Original?

My opinion : I think (hope) it is original... but, I am worried it may have been "treated" in some way.

Thats why I wanted to ask the "privileged few", the owners of 1st exec dial Autavias.

When I look at the dial in the light but at an acute angle, the surface of the dial looks like it might have been varnished. The sheen on the dial, the way the light is reflected is very different from the dial on a 2nd exec dial Autavia, or any of the other Heuers in my collection. You can't see this in the scan (well maybe a tiny bit in the subreg dials).

Some guys told me it is due to laquer finish - is that correct? I find it strange that the dial changed finish so much between the 1st and 2nd exec dial. Anybody seen that?

Any opinions or advice?

PS: please no comments on the bezel. I know it is embarrasing. Just don't mention it, OK.
