1675 gilt dial restoration

Hello gentlemen ,

I recently purchased a 1966 glossy gilt dial 1675. The print on the dial is perfect but it seems like the markers where tampered with. I reached out to Mr. Ridley and the likes of LAWW and ABC all 3 said they didn't feel comfortable working on the watch. Anybody else that I can reach out to for a proper restoration on the dial ? Thank you

Hmmm. What did you ask from them in terms of service, and were their reasons for declining all the same?

Michael Young does dial restoration, maybe he will take a crack at it.
