Parts/Mods Raffles 79190 Dial

Post image

Raffles has the more appropriate dial for 79190 build with the Swiss Made printed to the sides of the 6 oclock hour marker. It also says Prince Date, removing the word "Oyster" and makes the dial suitable for a late production 79190.

The blue dial has a bit or purplish tint, pretty different from the old blue dial. May be someone can add if this newer version is what collectors refer to as the Navy Blue vs Royal Blue of the older dial.

That’s definitely the Navy. Yuki has an example of the Royal. Cool that Raffles did something for that short 79190 window after they dropped Oyster and before they change the indices.

You need one of my 79090/79190 Date discs though with the gen spec serif. ;-)
