Hello,
I found an original dial for my 311-228 Royal (with a series 3 311 movement).
Now it's clean (well, clean-ish: it still needs a light cleaning, but without touching the dial, I like its "aged" look).
Indeed, when I compare them under a loupe:
Refinished dial: the left leg of the G is angled too steeply, and the font is too thin. The dial sits tilted relative to the case.
Original dial: the left leg of the G is angled slightly less steeply, but still with that "straight line" section, and the font is a bit "bolder". The dial is properly aligned vertically with the case.
The problem now is that I need to take the crown and stem from the series 2 311 and fit it to the series 3, or else swap the dials.
I'll look into it this winter, after completing my short training course.
PS : Thanks a lot to Robert.
;-)
