Do these particular dials have the hard enamel logo/indices? I found for the Roman numeral dials that the "Curvex" logo is not of hard enamel like the "Gruen" logo and indices. International Dial for example uses a buffer to remove the old patina which does not affect the hard enamel paint. Thus the Curvex logo is buffed off very easily along with the patina. I suspect many dial refinish companies used this method.
