I bought #3417 in 2019 at a relatively bargain price. It`s outermost circumference of the dial was damaged, but it was not particularly unsightly because it had a uniform wavy pattern. Last year,my friend adviced me that PP can repair them, and I followed...
SWISS should have been easy to apply. I've also seen quirks with VC factory redials that have the "&" removed. Perhaps they are trying to signal this is not an original dial, even though authentic?
pure and simple watch and dial. It looks really great on your wrist! Congrats for choosing this piece. And congratulations on your individuality not to walk the same well-trodden (boring) paths. All the best Thomas
Very nice restoration from PP πππ Would you have a before restoration photo to see how the dial was looking like? The comparison before / after is always interesting to look at... Big congrats to you you were wise to grab it, much wiser than me who did no...
