If the blemish at 4 oclock is a little bit of lume that is out of the dot/curcle you could try to remove it carefully with a tooth pick (no guaranties mind you) i have removed excess lume this way as the tooth pick is softer than the matt black dial surface try to blunt the end down a bit !try it a bit at a time with a lobe and stop if you think it may damage your dial !

Thanks Aeromatic, I think I am shifting to the dark side now with the vintage look, I don' t see the blemish unless I go macro on it but I'm thinking a lot about a gilt gloss dial with golden hands :-)

I met Minh on Sunday at his shop in Saigon. I was there for the weekend. Nice gentleman. We went through some of the parts that he had available and some nice builds that he had. I was impressed and bought a few things from him.

 

Anyway the best way to contact him will be through his website.
