Good news everyone, I promised a comparison of the 2006 Eddie Lee dial and a genuine dial a little while back. While this is nothing new maybe someone is still interested in this kind of stuff. Both watches are MBW PAM48K bases & crystals. Genuine dial is on black gator and EL dial is on antique brown gator. EL dial was relumed by one and only The Zigmeister. First, the infamous "dial pop": Genuine 12 o'clock: EL 12 o'clock: Genuine 6 o'clock: EL 6 o'clock: It's not easy to capture the colors precisely as I'm only using my desk lamp and it's getting late, but I think you can agree that the EL dial is not bad for a 2006 reproduction. In fact it's pretty close where it counts and on the wrist it looks serious business. If you can source an old EL dial cheaply it's a very nice stand-in while you're looking for an OEM dial. Whether you end up doing a genuine dial franken or sourcing an old EL dial replacement, which is not easy but still doable; there were at least three sales of this model in the last 2 months between the boards, OP 40mm models are beautiful and project worthy watches. Thanks for reading and hope you enjoyed this little writeup.
