: Jeff Stein Said

: Regarding the possibility of refinishing the dial "to its
: original state", to my way of thinking, this would be a
: huge mistake. If this dial were to be refinished, I expect that
: half the value of the watch would go with it.

I would further say that the idea or possibility of restoring the dial to its original state is pretty close to an absolute impossibility (I would say impossible but my father told me never to say that) I agree with bit of advice that Jeff has given.
