1986 Explorer "cream dial"
My father has a 1986 "cream dial" Explorer and I just looked at the face thru a "loop" and noticed that Superlative and Certified do not line up. Is it possible that it's still the "real deal" or did someone alter the face? Keep in mind, the serial number is correct for the period of time when the white face faded to cream... and all markers and hands have the white gold.
Look forward to hearing what everyone thinks. |

what does it read down at the bottom ...if it's t swiss < 25t then its accepted as Ok ..just a slightly different variant that commands less of a value than a rail dial..
if it just says swiss < 25t ( without first T) then it'll be met with a Hmmmmmmm. |
