marinamm20 Posted February 2, 2010 Report Posted February 2, 2010 could be a gen dial with new lettering ? Eurotimez.com also sells singer dials - but to a much lower price Eurotimez dials
FxrAndy Posted February 2, 2010 Report Posted February 2, 2010 All look a bit to clean and good for me, some pretty sought after kit there with low starting prices, i would be happy even if i knew it was a reprint if the price is decent, i am no expert but the printing does look good
ubiquitous Posted February 2, 2010 Report Posted February 2, 2010 Singer blanks can be procurred; I'd be more inclined to say that this is fresh 'replica' dial printed on such a blank and not so much a refinished dial as stated on the listing. The printing is consistent with some others that I have seen. Regardless, the dial is very nice for a refinish; especially when compared to some of the others out there. The immediate tell that this isn't an authentic dial is at 6:00; from there, the detail characteristics that define the dial as non-genuine all fall into place... -SWISS T<25 -Open 6 @ depth rating (not incorrect, but the following details don't correlate to a dial of this type e.g. Types 1, 2, 3) -Font types (color, shape, etc. are not consistent to each respective dial type) -Coronet shapes -12:00 marker size/shape But if this is being sold as a redial, the listing is at least honest Whether you trust a seller with 0 feedbacks is up to the prospective buyer...
freddy333 Posted February 2, 2010 Report Posted February 2, 2010 The double red is not bad (I have seen better), but his Daytona & Bond Sub dials are just plain nasty.
ubiquitous Posted February 2, 2010 Report Posted February 2, 2010 He's got other dials? I only saw the DRSD...
