Hey guys I got a lot of response to sending this dial into Michael. A lot of people wanted to see how it would turn out, well much to say I am pretty excited with the quality of work. Turned this into this...

And I am struggling a little, even though I found an original dial (third picture) for my 7928, I do love the one MY did and not sure what to put in my watch, what would you do?

Thanks!

#3 for me.

3

I would use dial #2. Although I'm no expert, it looks like dial #3 has been re-lumed as well, it that's the case definitely dial #2. If that is an untouched dial I would use dial #3.

MY has my 93150 bracelet currently. I am anxiously awaiting how that will turn out.

Nice job but I'd use the original #3.

#1 - be original.

goldfixer21 · 2 April 2015, 06:50 AM

#2, but I'm sure I'm in the minority

Old Expat Beast · 2 April 2015, 08:39 AM

#2, as it is original to the watch, although repainted.

I'd save the original dial you purchased (#3) for a rainy day. #2 would work for me now.

Jfullm42 · 2 April 2015, 10:50 AM

Thanks guys. Just met with my watchmaker and going with the dial that we sourced. It's original to the year and watch and will keep it original. I'm going to probably keep the repainted dial as a backup at this point :) hopefully wrist shots in a week once it's all back together!

#2 as well.......

The vintage patina look is awesome!

Frogman4me · 16 October 2015, 12:18 PM

Always original if possible for me.

This!

droptopman · 17 October 2015, 06:12 AM

MY does great work. I sure like the way the resto turned out. Understand your decision to use #3 but that is a tough call.

10after10 · 17 October 2015, 06:55 PM

I know decision is already made and all but if it was me and I was to wear the watch, I'd go for #2.
I'd be too scared to wear #3 around

cenzor · 17 October 2015, 07:14 PM

Wouldn't #3 be flaking tritium around?
That might be dangerous...
