No minute track dial

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 !

Thank you for this answer. I will bring it to the watchmaker to have it inspected.

I am too much of a novice to notice this water intrusion so thank you for pointing that out. Even now that you mention it, I cannot manage to see it. Really uneducated eye. Your expertise goes in the same direction as Masteroftime so : cleaned dial.

That tells a lot about "no minute track" dials.
