Hi, all-- I've looked at MWO, SM101, and searched the forums and found either vague or conflicting word on this. My question is whether any -63's could have had the standard (non-asymmetric) dials fitted to them? My understanding would be yes indeed, since a -63 could have been produced for some time after the requirement for the production TT dials went into effect in early '64. But some of the forum responses seem to contradict this opinion. Curious what the latest understanding is... Thx!

Do you have a picture of a watch? Here is my 105.003-63:

Thanks for the pic-- I gather you are agreeing a -63 Ed White can have the standard closet TT's? I don't have a watch to show: I am looking for one to buy, potentially!

You can take the picture of my watch as a reference, on how the TT should look like or you can decide it should look different.

I would agree a -63 dial can look like yours does (with standard close TT), as long as the production date based on the movement serial is around mid-1964 or later.
