I think so. Post 1955 and the dial has been redone.

Redone as in restored or swapped out or relumed or??? Is this a bad thing? Sorry still very new to the vintage scene. Thanks!

Dilas can be repainted. There are companies that do just that. Once a dial is redone the value of the watch lessens as it is no longer all original.

NO ONE todate can do justice to a Zodiac redial so most owners avoid getting them redone.
