And the dial is refinished. Fortunately International had the correct pattern. It's not absolutely perfect, but I'm happy with the outcome.

It turned out very nicely!

I was considering having mine redone by ID as well. The only "issues" I see are that the "GRUEN VERI-THIN" print is a bit too fat and "SWITZERLAND" is too narrow. The last point seem to be a common issue for all Gruen dials that I had refinished by ID. I guess they only use one standard typeface for it. The next time I will ask them specifically if they can print "SWITZERLAND" more matching the original.
