Title: SW redial
Post by: jon p on July 26, 2010, 02:50:21 PM
 :o take a look see at ebay ## 370407569994,  a real example of a redial. note they deletion of "sea wolf" on the dial, and check out the weird small size font of the numbers in the marker triangles. not a bad watch BUT NOT at 350.00. i wonder why the redialers cant get the size of the mumbers correct!?

That redial is wrong in so many ways...

I personally worked with a redialer about 8 years ago on the SW dials. It took us months to get the first one done right, and then we had 4 more different SW dials to go when he went out of business. So many of the dies are lost now, the paint is not the same today nor is the old paint available, and the fonts are all but impossible to get right today. And of course, Tritium is not available. You can forget about a cursive Glorious redail, trust me on that one.
