DIAL: THIS TV DIAL IS NO BULLSHIT. IT'S AS PURE CRAYOLA BLUE AS YOU CAN GET. I LOVE THOSE STEEL STICK HANDS WITH THE BLUE SANDWICH INSERTS WHICH HAVE NICE AGED TRITIUM THAT MATCHES THE PLOTS ON THE DIAL. THERE ARE SOME MINOR BLEMISHES ON THE DIAL, BUT OVERALL IT LOOKS REALLY BOLD AND CLEAN. I'M A HUGE FAN OF THE STACKED DAY/DATE WINDOW AT 6 WITH THE CONTRASTING BLACK/WHITE DISCS. THE ORIGINAL FLAT ACRYLIC CRYSTAL IS IN GREAT SHAPE WITH SOME MINOR SCRATCHES WHICH HAVE BEEN MAINLY BUFFED DOWN.
