Hi there.
I am interested in acquiring a Hyphen Dial Circa 1968-1969
It needs some Restoration and was wondering Is Restoring a Rare dial like this Frowned upon?
Also is there anyone or anyplace in particular you would refer me to take it or send it to?
The bottom where T Swiss T is chipped and missing.
Thank you in advance.

Is it worth it or will it hurt the Value?

Thanks.

I would look at it as: Which would be easier to re-sell.
Damaged dial, or repaired dial?

Honestly, I'd avoid both just because it's a no-win situation. When you DO want to sell it, it's gonna be scrutinized and debated endlessly....and, probably right here on this forum!

Well they are rare and hardly ever come up for sale.
I guess I could just buy it and leave it alone.
I don't see why it would be a bad investment given the scarcity. I know scarcity doesn't always equate to value.

Are you referring to 1675/8 with hyphen between oyster and perpetual? I’m not aware of any other gmt with a hyphen.

Yes Exactly. Brown Dial.

Not worth it in my personal experience.Watches with relumed or repaired Dials incur a huge value hit,Better just to pay up for a nice Dial.

Thanks Guys. I reached out to some reputable sources and they all had the same opinion. STAY AWAY.
