Yes... I mistyped what I meant. Same order number. I'm not 100% convinced that this is a redial.... I think that Wittenour had a different dial made to add the 24-hour. The lume was redone.
Definitely a redial. All fonts are incorrect. See original dial below.
That is good to know what a possible original looks like. I appreciate that. I do note that it is a different order number. I mean my original intent with what l had post was to provide images of the case. The dial on mine is just fine; if it is a redial it is an old one and well executed. IMHO.
The different order number is not consequential in this instance. Below is another example that has the same order number as yours. As is evident, the dial is the same as the one I posted above. If you are happy with the dial in your watch, that is all that matters. However, I think that most Longines collectors who appreciate original dials would not consider it well-executed.

Here's mine (order number 22653), as I bought it, the movement was in a bad condition and the watch doesn't hack. So after the overhaul with some new parts it works very proper and has a time range within the chronometer norm ( and it hacks again馃槈).
Order number on mine is 22430.
The other 12L I have has the hacking lever in place, but there is a screw over it that inhibits its motion. I'll get pictures when I disassemble it. Likely not this weekend...bench is already occupied by three other projects.
Appreciate everyone sharing images.
Yes, that would be interesting to see. I am no watchmaker but the mechanism isn't complicated I heard - with a kind of wire which blocks the balance wheel by pulling the crown?
Here are the two 12L movements. Both have hacking levers, but the one on the left of the next image has a screw that is in place defeating the hacking.
With hacking:
With the screw that keeps it from contacting the balance rim:
Anyone see this before? Seems odd.
