Tudor 9411 Snowflake, Blue - RAL Colour for Dial Refinish
If you had a 1976 Tudor 9411 (or multiple, if you're me) that was heavily blistered and peeling, the previously white print was very discoloured and dark, and you were unable to have it serviced (needed) as a watchmaker didn't want to take the risk of removing the hands...
Perhaps, one might consider to take the step of refinishing the dial, appreciating the potential value destruction (they're keepers) of wiping the original print, etc. and further appreciating it would never be original again. What RAL blue would you pick? I am not saying with 100% certainty this is going ahead but I am very much chewing over the proposition as watches that don't function well as watches and have the face of my teenage youth are basically paperweights. I think my current favourite ("colour I'd be resigned to pick if I went ahead") is: RAL 5026 (maybe RAL 5003 2nd): https://i.postimg.cc/MH9K83nc/RAL-Blues.jpg https://www.ralcolorchart.com/ral-classic/blue-hues I am thinking 5026 in matte, with off white markers may be attractive but I might try a spray out of a couple of colours to see them in natural light
