    Evening all,

    I'm slowly going crosseyed trying to decide if a Chronostop 145.010 has the correct script on dial or if it's a very good re-dial.


    I've gone through lots of online pictures but there is a couple of discrepancies that I'm not sure of . Maybe I'm looking too hard.

    I've attached photo of one I've seen ( from online source ) and a reference one found on Austin Kaye website.

    Hopefully someone can allay my concerns. As I say , maybe I'm a bit too OCD about it being a perfect match and there was a bit of variation during the history of the watch.

    Thanks for any help forthcoming

    I bought my Chronostop new in 1971 so dial in this pic is original.

    Hope this helps.

    I could send you a high res pic but am now away and offline until Saturday.

    Thanks for that Jack G . Your one matches the majority of ones I've viewed on the web . However I have found a couple that seem to have same script as the one I'm looking at . I think I'm becoming a bit too critical . Then again it's a dark world when you start looking at dials that may have had some form of "improving"
