    visiting a friend and after a good talk , here comes this piece anxious for change hands . that wonderful blue dial , shame that the last review has been lost to anti magnetic cover. Does a spa in iwc can solve this issue ?

    At home I found that this dial inspires me to wear jeans

    It will be easy to find anti magnetic cover ?

    Best regards and enjoy another great discovery

    Indeed - sending it for a SPA - will have it returned complete inc. soft iron metal cap (provided they have a spare and they should) - and of course if the movement and case numbers match the sales archive.

    Fantastic find - please take lots of "before" pictures, so that you can then show us "after" photos too, when it returns from the SPA and we can all enjoy the work of those Wizards of Schaffhausen.

    Congrats. That is an exceptional Ref 866 with the σ T SWISS T σ dial.
    If you send it to Schaffhausen for overhaul, you must ensure the dial is not replaced.

    Yes, like Clepsydra says, make sure you preserve this very special dial. Very few of these special dials were made, and a replacement would be unlikely to be 'apriore'.

    Congratulations, great find, a sibling to mine!

    Repeating Clepsydra's comment, make sure to not have that dial replaced when overhauled.
