Hello everybody,

Here's the dial in question, I like it a lot and I have been working on this warch for days, the plating on the the case was so bad I'm working on replating it. 

The movement was in a very very good condition and in running perfectly. 

My biggest problem is this dial, any advice?

If you only want rid of the green, I would try a cotton bud dipped in white vinegar, it's good at removing verdigris.  Very gently roll it over the affected areas, avoid any printing.  It won't be perfect. If you want it looking pristine, your only option is a to have the dial refinished.

I'd look at starting with plain water on a cotton bud and see what you can remove before proceeding with anything stronger.

Next step would be saliva and then water with a drop of ammonia.

Edit

In all cases you need to avoid any printing as much as possible.
