OK, team . . . when we are seeing these daily, then it's time for a webpage showing people how to spot the redials. I probably have some good enough images of original ones OnTheDash, and on my C-drive, but if any of you have high resolution photos of original dials (in the blue version), please post them here or send them to me by e-mail. The two below (from Shaun) are both original and show us how the color of these dials can change, over time.

Thanks in advance.
