DIAL: The original silver pie-pan dial is in fantastic condition. It shows no signs of staining, blemishing or imperfections. The dial sports baton hands and hour markers. The lume plots on the dial have patinated to a creamy hue and match the hands. The dial and hands have most likely been relumed in the past. They appear to glow when in a totally dark room but respond very little to excitation.
