From those pictures it looks ok to me. Kind of hard to tell from those but does is still have polished centre links?

It looks like your lume has different coloured 3, 6 and 9 markers (or maybe it’s just the photo?) which I don’t remember but can check tonight and let you know.

On closer inspection the lume looks OK so I’d say it’s all good.

It means there are no obvious issues or Red Flags
The color batons and dial are all correct for green glass model

Font changes happen from time to time and the MG has been going for a few years now. It wouldn’t surprise me if there was a font change at some point but I don’t know for sure.

Your MG looks good to me. GV glass, even lume, laser etched rehaut.

Here is mine from 2018 if you want to compare the font spacing.

If you’re worried you can have it verified but I don’t think you need to worry.

Ok yes I see what you mean now. The spacing on the lettering is very different. What year is your watch?

Hopefully someone here will be knowledgable enough to advise on any changes to lettering on the MG dials (if any)?

The earliest Milgauss GVs had font spacing like yours, then they tightened it up a bit after a year or so, as I recall.

You have the blue dial with the associated lume.

Mine was from 2018 not sure about ditectioneng’s.

Looks like they changed the dial in 2010 or 2011 and you have the early one.
