ghost Posted April 20, 2013 Report Share Posted April 20, 2013 So i lost out on this coz i don't employ the use of the last-min snatch bid thing. http://www.ebay.com/itm/230964050903?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 Was it a close shave or am i a big-time loser?

atomic_doug Posted April 20, 2013 Report Share Posted April 20, 2013 I don't know. I think you were lucky to not win that. I don't quite trust it at a grand. I don't trust that seller either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cc33 Posted April 20, 2013 Report Share Posted April 20, 2013 I emailed the seller to advise him that his dial wasn't genuine and I got no response.. Yes count yourself really lucky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nanuq Posted April 20, 2013 Report Share Posted April 20, 2013 I tweaked his pic (a lot) so you can see details. Compare with my 6536 (very similar) and tell me what you see.<br /><br /><br /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cc33 Posted April 21, 2013 Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 There's so much wrong. The dial feet are placed for a 1530 but the dial says 200/600 (5508 is 100/300), there is only one dial , a 5510 dial, that has those two features.. If he had brains he would have listed it as a 5510 dial. The printing is also off but you have to get a feel for what the proper printing should look like to be able to compare. Here's a comparison of proper 200/600 double gilt print. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cc33 Posted April 21, 2013 Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 Here are some genuine 5508 and 6538 dials to get a good feel for the print Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted April 21, 2013 Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 New/aftermarket dial & not even a great 1. Consider yourself lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cc33 Posted April 21, 2013 Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 The font that the dial maker used is actually more like an early gilt 5512 dial which would also have feet for a 1530 but it's not even acurate for what it's supposed to be..

Skrap Posted April 21, 2013 Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 It looks like to me the lume spots are too big or close to the edge markers also? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
