deinstalled the indices from the dial.

Now I sprayed some matte varnish on the Dial, like this.a8a4b867deb3b5f89c68d87c6238c8fc.jpg&key=9d86344ac37ad2687b41d40d3f13b83205d24ec764ad1ed2012025b7e8c1957c

 

After that I installed the markers to the Dial again.6fb39c87568b873e8c50a6a06a971df0.jpg&key=8ee0c177209f590cd0884c03a919d4dcdcfe9c0d908135fade10725c0f3cc33f
