Trying to figure out this, what we are informed as a 2900-7, dated to 1956, with a Cal 267.

Seeing very few 2900 examples to compare and none with the -7.



Seeing a few issues with my untrained eye, then again it's early in the morning.

Crosshairs North to South appear heavier line to East to West and haven't seen any other examples with Crosshairs.

No Swiss Made visible on the dial, although seen an example as noted below but. But hey that could be a redial.

Hour marker at 6, is this wonky?

Most examples I have seen have the minute track on the edge of the dial, not as noted in the example above. Therefore the hands are appear odd, shorter different to other examples.

Minute marker either side of the Sub second dial, examples I have seen don't have these, between 5 and 7.

I am thinking a complete redial and new hands but invite the welcome experience of the forum please.

Case and crown appear correct, bracelet aftermarket.

Examples of what I have found so far.

Similar style hands, no Swiss Made, but like I said could be a complete redial.

The first example is indeed a redial, however I believe the configuration with the inner seconds track and corresponding short hands are correct.

Of the other three examples you posted the first two are clearly redials as well.

Plenty of examples of 2900s out there by a simple Google search.

Thanks XJR, found plenty of reference 2900 but no 2900-7, the first photo, dial in question.

The comparison photos first is a 2900, not sure which variant, the second is 2900-1 and the third 2900-6.

Thought the first photo was a redial but, was not sure what if any strayed from the watches original intent. Thanks again for clarifying

This is the closest I have found on the dial reference 2903

Here is an original -9 with a inner minute track.

The "-7" represents a production run, not necessarily a "variant," IMO. It's more important to judge the dial on its own merits, and it's clearly repainted.
