a little off? LOVE the breguet numbers but that 2 just seems to be floating high... and then the "A" in "AUTOMATIC" seems off... otherwise it looks like a beaut. Thoughts?

I had also noticed that on eBay and thought the same thing about the "2" and the "A"s. I'm not totally sure, but I did find some other examples with the same style of numerals. They all seem to show the "2" just a little higher than the "1", but not as much as this watch.

Glad I'm not the only one! Yeah, I saw some of those same comps - made me feel better about the "A" but that 2 still seems to be floating much higher than any I've seen...

I'm not sure about the "A"s either. All the others are flat-topped.

Ah - good eye!

It's not definitive at all. The minute markers look pretty good. It's possible that it's all original with perhaps a minor repair done at one time.

Wow, guess the bidders don’t have any issues with the dial...
