But it's all personal taste.
The lume dots look odd though, don't they?
Usually Roman dials don't do anything for me (I find those Buckley dials terribly cluttered), unless they look more like this:

Same here.
It looked good, black hands, box/papers etc
Never even paid attention to the dial
The good news
Everything else is ok
Tore it down yesterday it is a refinish on an authentic plate
Cheers

This the renowned "Buckley Dial"
Is it not?
I agree though
The lume is a little funky.

(Login jocke1 ) VRF Emeritus 173.245.49.71 The dial is a Buckley>>>>>>> July 2 2011, 2:04 AM
The other dials that is showing is not with painted romans.
I have the same and it's a awesome combo IMHO. The lume dots
looks wierd but the rest is ok.
Here is a few pics of my one.

WorldOysterWatcher (Login WorldOysterWatcher ) VRF Member 173.245.52.197 I bought an Heuer earlier this year that I had to return... July 2 2011, 12:04 PM
for the same reason. But when I saw it, I was so smitten, I saw only what I wanted to see. I just hope you have the opportunity to return it! cheers, Rita
