That's unusual. I'm not sure how much I like it, but it looks very well built and certainly distinctive.
Very nice, I have the older SARB 017, which I really like and keep for "best" .
I was going to say something similar! I took one look at the dial face and was taken back to my parents' bathroom wallpaper when I were a lad.There's a touch of 'bedsit wallpaper' to the textured dial.
I am very taken with that.I've just reviewed the new Samurai

Does anyone have experience of and can recommend a watch dial restoration specialist please?
Many thanks
So do you run a watch shop or summat?
No experience of them myself but David Bill & Sons are frequently mentioned and seem to be well respected.

As I'm sure you're aware many collectors will prefer an imperfect but unrestored dial - though obviously it depends on the damage and what your plans are for the watch.
Thank you for the advice. I am lucky enough to have several older watches a couple of which have a lot of sentimental value and on one in particular, a Jaeger LeCoultre automatic, the dial is so worn that it is not really readable / usable.
I am at a crossroad - do they live in the back of the drawer for the rest of my life or do I make them usable so that I and hopefully my children will use them.
