so my middle eastern friend interpreted these dial the best he can, if you had clearer pics he could be more definitive

grey dial airking translation "armed military area" maybe missing a word as he cant read it all
gold dial airking translation " police Al Jahraa Kuwait " Jahraa is the region or area of Kuwait

Yes, at least a few years ago when I sent my Pool 5500 in for service, they offered to sell me a new dial but noted it wouldn't be the same.

I have learned that this P logo belongs to Pioneer Gas Products (later Pioneer Petroleum, eventually bought out by T Boone Pickens). Other Pioneer Gas award watches exist with the logo on the clasp instead of the dial.

It states on the site "Please note that the Coat-of-Arms was added later to the dial. So it's a repainted and customised dial." It does look reasonably well-done though :)

Customizing a dial

Hi. Is there anyone who can put a logo on my existing dial now?

Is it possible that the WJ on the Nick Price dial is for Windsor Jewelers? Windsor is a large Rolex AD in Augusta, GA (Home of Augusta National).

It was offered to me at a really good price and I passed. Probably the biggest missed and dumbest move I've done in this hobby.
