Holy smokes those are some nice pics!
Don't worry about Helfhands. They are currently in a dispute with Ebay about a hacked paypal account.
Here is their new site:

While I would like to say no rep will be perfect, when one is marketed as such, I suppose the consumer has the right to expect it.
If you are willing to do mods, I would recommend searching the photo gallery for MBW. The modern MBWs have a small laser etched coronet with a nice surprise inside.
Good luck!
The seller of the original pic insists the insert is genuine and has supplied two more pictures.
The 9PM marker still looks crooked but they all do I think in relation to the opposite marker. Could it be the curvature or possible bending of the insert?

If you have better luck and find one willing, please let me know
Hi Starbu,
PM Finepics and see what he would charge to install the dial and:
1. superlume dial and hands
or
2. superlume hands
depending upon whether the dials come superlumed or not.
RSC standard is to replace hands with modern ones during service.
As for the dial, no idea but I have seen several genuine DRSDs who had the dial replaced during service and were repainted red..
Sounds like they will be funding the payment via a stolen credit card and then expecting you to turn around and WU the money while Paypal takes the money back out of your account?
I have not done the cross transplant yet as I am just sitting on the old dial without the new version to install it into.
ThomasNg gave me the heads up on the AR coating on the underside of the crystal.
You are correct; there are many different types of AR coating and I am completely ignorant about them
