What part of the text in the dial were you concerned about? Was it the lettering and the spacing in OFFI ? Just curious about the approximate serial number/year. I have a special1966 14k connie (24 million) it has the same lettering in OFFI and also has the RE for the 'chronometre'.They are almost identical .
I am still doing my research on it and also trying to learn as much as I can.
Do you have a scan of the top part of the dial lettering without any hand interference? I have been trying to amass a sample of the various lettering patterns in the pie pans types from the late 1950s to 1960s.. By the way, great photos. I was wondering where to find the gold hallmarks on my watch and saw them on your photos! I looked on mine, and there they were, all be it, extremely small.
I would also agree that the tail of the second hand got pinched along the way.
