3970 Dial.....
Happy New Year to everyone :-)
I have a question that I think most people here may know.
Is there 2 different 'white' dial for ref.3970?
One is white and the other one is silver.....I notice from some old pictures, the dials of some 3970
look silvery, pretty similar to the 5970 while some just simply look white.
Does any 3970 owners here have a silvery 3970 instead of the typical white dial?
Just curious. I love silvery dial :-)
