Understanding that there are several versions of this dial it is REALLY difficult. I would note a few things. The SUBMARINER 2000 is considerably smaller on the dial in question. It also does not line up with the text above and below the same.

The rating text and everything below it seems to be aligned properly. It is very obviously either a repaired dial or a re-dial. Look at the discoloration around the lume.

PS: I will give you $10 for it and the obviously cheap movement underneath it! ;)

Well technically Alaska is part of the continent... :whistling:

Sensing the potential for a windfall of profit made me light headed & I guess I forgot who I was or where I am??????? :Jumpy:

Back on topic -- Dowling or someone had pictures in their book of a Sub dial that had been relumed by the London RSC & the area around the markers looked a bit like the dial in my 1st picture, where some of the material migrated into a 'pool' around the marker. Unfortunately, I cannot seem to locate those pictures, but if anyone knows what I am referring to, what do you think about the dial in the 1st picture in that case?

Update -- I just found 1

Well, once again it appears I am wrong (second time this year)...

There are 5 versions of the DRSD that I could find pics of.

The alignment issued I thought existed are actually a non-issue. I still think it has been touched up, relumed or a redial. But alignment seems correct for a Version I.

Hey I've seen those circular shiny areas like you pointed out on other dials... they all proved to be redials or poor copies. I've never seen a gen dial like that, and none of mine have it.

Regardless of its history, the dial is a rare find and I would gladly add it to my collection.

Congrats and keep us posted!
