1968 Speedking questions
I picked up an average condition 1968 Speedking. It has an oyster bracelet. My wife wants to wear it, but prefers the white or silver dials. Are replacements available? Also, the inside cover is stamped 6430 but the case is marked 6431. Which one is it?

Silver dials were more common of the for the time and that is what most likely will be available, a blue dial is more valuable, so you can make a few bucks in the exchange.

The dial is not unique to that 1968 watch, reading "SWISS MADE".. Without a clearer picture, hard to tell, but could be refinished. |

The case and case back were used for multiple models so the case back is correct with the other mark. The case mark between the lugs is always the correct one.

Does anyone have a source or suggestion on where I could find a silver or white dial?
Thanks in advance. |
