"With dial restorations they are restored to close to the original as possible but often there are some subtle differences. If you are expecting it to be an exact replica then I would advise not to go ahead with the dial restoration. Sometimes the font will be different, as a template for your existing font is not in existence so the closest match will be used. Sometimes this is a little more different to expectations. So some differences are to be expected. A dial restoration involves stripping the dial back to the base metal, normally brass, and re-doing the base colour, adding any brand logos and any minute markers. If you have hour batons or solid numbers these will be reused. Our dial restorer will usually inform us if there any major differences to be expected and we can then discuss this with you before the dial restoration starts."
