Hmmm... something very odd about all those members/posts... ^^^

Exactly the same words, apparently from 'us' and 'uk' and very odd user-names, and all joined in April 2015 except last one in May...

Hi guys,
I have a L series in the 230.000 range but my dial isn't like the MK 2 one above, its more like the MK 5 dial. Whats up with this?

Sorry forget above. It's not L serial, thats my 5513 Sub. My daytona is W

Is the last U series more desirable or the earlier the better.

No they are not. The early porcelain models are the most valuable then the floating cosmograph dials and so on through the inverted 6 dials. All these would be at a premium price compared to the later dials.

A or P series, if any of you had a choice? Any perceptible differences?

I’d like to keep my original dial, anyone tried having it re-lume ?
If so who’d you recommend?

My 16520 is U serial. I found many dots on the dial when it was serviced. What happen to the dial? should I change a new dial?
