So I ordered the watch with one of the last serpico dials today... second option, that Li was offering, was the „regular“ dial but with a white texture..

Nice! I think the Serpico dials come with a different crown btw. I am waiting for my watch but from the pic Li sent me the crown looked different.. more like the TS Serpico 6542. If this is true then the crown looks to be better.

Agree with that. Crown looks pretty nice.

Experts can you give us an answer, which at the moment the best version is jtime, or this more expensive version of TS.?

The experts would agree to buy the Li version and swap hands and viet/ruby dial.. it would be miles nicer and roughly the same price at the TS vintage.

Those VP “negative gilt” dials look like CRAP, you’re way better off putting the money into a nice, crispy Vietnam dial.

Yup, two versions, but both very rare. Links and pic of one version-gen below:
- Blue /red bakelite, black gilt dial, GMT writing in pink, steel watch.
- Blue /red bakelite, black gilt dial, GMT writing in pink & red depth, steel watch.
This vintage TS is not bad
Yes.. but I think for $688 or whatever he’s charging just get at least a much better dial and send it to one of the modders. I think it’ll be less or around the same for that TS. B

the TS/VP is 100% not worth it at their ridiculous markup. the dial is the most important part and for the price of the TS you can have a watch with a true negative relief gilt VN dial.
as for custom printing im fairly certain HR can do that; however, again, it wouldnt be true gilt.
