In reply to by Reverend Rob

 ... I agree there sure isn't much bezel wear.  Gotta be a redail, as the watch case/crystal has wear which indicates this watch was used, not stored in a sock drawer.  Rob you should see the black tracks very close up (with a  loop).  The black stuff has relief, and it's almost like small spun glass.  I don't know if it's printed, and at points where it's wider, the material is also thicker and higher off the dial surface.  It has little swirls at corners which look like during application it was almost put on like tooth paste squeezed from a tube.

Senator. Nice watch Will. Try wearing it for a day or so before you stash it away again. It always makes me feel better if I at least do that much. I don't feel quite as guilty then,

It depends on the printing method, Will. I'm not sure what they do to get that thick look, it's like the raised ink on business cards. I really like it in conjunction with raised metal indices.

I'll go with Senator case.....there's something about the dial that doesn't fit, it seems like it shrunk a bit? Like it's just a bit too small for the case.
