I'd love to get a gilt dial for it but I imagine it would be astronomically priced.
Original dials very rarely come up for sale - and sadly, the radium has often messed them up anyway.

One of my 6538s has an early 'silver gilt' service dial - I've only ever seen one other.



Good luck, whatever you decide.

Merry Christmas
