The NOS Dial should be arriving within one week.  I am not sure if it still glow in the dark but if it doesn't, I have just wasted a bit of money on this NOS Dial.... 

If it is a lot of trouble to take the case apart and to swap out the dial, I guess my best option now is to wait for the Spa treatment and get everything change and service at once. 

Thanks for your input : )

Q on Speedmaster 125 Dial Change

 
 By: MonkeyMagic8 : June 27th, 2008-22:35
Hi, I just bought a new Speedmaster 125 Dial NOS. I am going to swap out the old dail on my Speedmaster 125 with this NOS dial. I would like to know, whether it is a hard job to change the dial on this watch or is it best to send the watch back to Bienne ...  

the original dial looks nice to me....

Hi MonkeyMagic8 The watch looks great . Why would you want to swap out that dial ? Any watchmaker worth his salt should be able to swap the dial out for you. But again I would not open this watch.... Good Hunting Bill Sohne

I would leave it too - looks great!

And if the new dial is truly "NOS" its likely doesn't glow any more either. If it's a luminova dial of more recent manufacture, swapping it out would destroy the originality in my opinion. If you must have glowing lume, a watch of more modern manufacture ... 

Thanks, Ryan
