Chilenito Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 Having just received my all black portu from Andrew, I compared it with other reps and sumbled upon this one: (sorry ingenieur for borrowing your photos) See the smoothly recessed subdials? ... comparing it to my gen 3714 that comes much closer to the gen. My rep now however appears to have a dial similar to this (imagine it in black) what's the deal here, what's everyones oppinions on the two different dials? Anyone know where to get that "more genuine looking" dial from? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chad Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 The black is always like this. I have never seen a black that is not like that. I think overall the finish of the black dial is nice though with double ar. Chad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adz Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 Yeah the more common dials, that I've seen anyway, all seem to be the non-smooth recessed dials. In saying that, it MAY be older models. I reckon a replacement dial is the only way to go personally. I know that Hacra (Hugo) @ Repgeek has/had a black and white panda dial and hands in stock.
