·Where elso should it go, there are the arrow head markers...??
I believe all the way its pie pan because this old ref.
Is the center pigmented by aging or intentionally as art?
Unfortunate degradation, not art.
The crosshairs on a dome dial will go all the way to the edges regardless of the type of indices, including numerals.

·It's still unbelievable for me, that this dial of a 168.0065, sold here in 2021, should be really flat and the piepan look only faked by the painting.
I still hope, someone shows a good photo of the dial back to confirm either.

··ΩF InvestiGatorI own one of these and it is true. The dial is flat, the “pie-pan” effect is caused by different brushed finishes on the dial separated by a twelve-sided register.
If you put it side by side with a Ref. 168.005 the differences are obvious.

··ΩF InvestiGatorCenter part is sunburst finish, pie-pan is not sunburst, more like circular. There is a slight edge there, so not totally flat. It is much flatter than traditional pie-pans on prior Constellations.
The watch is smaller and thinner than the older models as well.
