No bubbling on the dial?

Very nice, most 9411's I've seen have some bubbling on the dial and a good amount of patina.

Amazing. Is it possible it's a service dial? I thought 9411's of that period were pretty consistently bubbled at least slightly and had aging/rot on markers?

No, it's the original dial.

Mope - original dial. Bubble was typically earlier versions or moisture intrusion


Mine says Hello ;)
