Ive have been working on some 23's. I haven't read anything on it so ill ask. Did anyone notice that all the white sunburst dials are not all just white. There is a Satin variant?

Hi, John!
Like you, I have a white 23 sunburst. Mine is a 1955 model. I recently did some horse trading with a vintage watch guy in Kansas City and traded a very sharp '58 sunburst with a dark blue dial and a couple of Walthams for a 1960 Bulova President (I think I made a good trade). The vintage dealer told me the blue dial was a re-dial, and Bulova only sold black or white. To this point, I haven't found a definitive source for disproving what he told me. I've studied the ads on the Forum, and can't find any other colors.
I wonder if the gold dial was a re-dial? I saw a darker, almost blood red dial go across ebay a month or six weeks ago, and it was good looking watch. Based on the condition of the dial, I'd almost guarantee that one was redone as well.
As soon as I complete the President you've helped me with, I will be adding it and the sunburst to the Forum list.
