Dial question 18038
Hi, can someone help me to understand the history of this type of faded away matt dial on 18038? I was told that this is a original faded but cannot look up much references and thus seeking some quick tips.
Cheers. |

Interesting I have never seen such even fade, the paint of the time did breakdown on champagne to lighter but usually not so even.

Never seen a dial faded like that on a president. The lume still looks perfect which seems strange.

Yes I've seen it but not to that extend, more like the cream 16550. If it's real, it looks nice n unique.
