What colour was the dial before you boiled it? The one I have, that is untouched, is a sort of peanut butter brown, or the colour of caramel , with a swirly in it. I'm not sure whether this is original or if it oxidized to that colour. The dial on mine is slightly warped but not enough to stop it rotating.
Regards
