·Hi there OF,
I am creating a separate thread for this question.
Is the "no minute track dial" a thing or is it a clear sign of a reworked dial ?
I recently came in the possession of a 14763 CS-61 that has no minute track and that puzzles me somehow. I would like to know if this is normal as it doesn't look like a re-dial.
When discussing with @masteroftime he suggested that "it is possible that the dial was cleaned at one point and the minute markers were removed".
I really am a newbie to the world of vintage watches but from what I understand, "exceptions" seems to be one rule among the rules of vintages watches. I it possible that it had no minute track originally ?
So I began to look for 14763 with no minute track dial.
I found only this one:

Expending my search to other vintage seamasters I also found this post from @Vanallard:

Many thanks for your input !
