I have this questionable perhaps under exposed photo to ask if the consensus is this is a repro dial? The chapters show the circular lines but faintly. Could this be a real porcelain dial and just a pic that isn’t showing the detail well? The one feature I have an opinion on is the red in the minute markers is not cherry red, a lesser red is a pointer to a factory dial. Returns accepted, so I can take delivery and view it in hand, but I have to decide if the probability is one way or the other. This is the one of two photos, the second is the back, with case closed. That is all I have to go on! | |||

James, looks like an original dial to me,as you stated not cherry red! A good sign. | |||

Does not appear to have any dial sinks at all (maybe my eyes are shot). If it is a porcelain dial without sinks James it would be from a much lower grade and not for a Bunn Special at all. | |||

Its for sure a dial from a lesser grade watch- I would pass unless the movement and case are mint- you can always find a RR dial if needed. T. Jones | |||

Very clean and no faults. I am returning the watch because the balance assembly is not numbers matching to the movement numbers. Not looking like a porcelain in the lever cut out, or copper beneath. Quite sure a low grade as stated or a full on repro? I am not removing the dial to investigate. I would have kept it if not a parts watch. Sad…. | ||||

Second pic without crystal. The depth and edges are minimal. | ||||
