Re: Refinished dial...(?)
In Response To: Refinished dial...(?) ()

: Hi-just to add my 2 cents-

: As you have, most have picked up on the apparent issues-wrong
: hands, markers, lume etc. Also-while the dial still has the
: vertical brush effect, there are other inconsistent issues-the
: 'crosshairs' on the left-hand dial should not meet in the
: middle, the numerals on the right subdial are in an incorrect
: font for this model, the 'Swiss' is too small and has no lines
: either side, the other text is too bold and the
: 'Autavia' looks a bit squat. Personally I would say this is a
: refinished dial, not a service dial. I take your point on the
: 'franken' idea-I guess the right subdial could have been
: imported from another model also-if that's possible?!?!?!

: Many thanks,
: Steve
thanks Steve for your answer.
Sorry for the bad quality of the scan but the dial has in real a beautiful vertical brush effect and the typo seems to be ok with sherif, and the cross also.
It is not a refinished dial because typo, brush effect , and applied indexes are genuine.
The absence of the orange hour indexes do not seem to have been there anytime.
But how can we explain that an incomplete (absence of the orange indexes) 1563T (for the steel applied indexes) dial could be in a posterior 15630 case?
regards
Bernard
