    Your not concerned with the minute track being inconsistent with the pie pan edges?

    Look at the above picture, its pretty clear.

    I am indeed.
    I was actually referring to the fonts but you’re correct with the minute marks.

    Looking at the dial through a loupe, the minute tracks 2-3-5 do line up but the other inner track markers are indeed off by varying degrees.

    Does this indicate 100% redial or is manufacturing inconsistencies possible?

    Curiously…I have just been offered a fully Arabic dialled Constellation

    Never, ever seen one before…and so far only seen this example in the images below…however passes MOY test and similar ‘font style’ examples found

    Will have a chance to check it, in a couple of weeks…

    Am I right that it should be a 167.005 ?

    Thoughts anyone ?

    The Swiss case reference number for this model should be 168.005. The "8" designates the calendar feature.

    Here is a page from a 1967 UK catalog explaining the difference between the two models.

    Thank you @gatorcpa …your generosity of time, & apparently limitless knowledge, is always appreciated & valued

    A fairly pedestrian RG Constellation then, with the least liked/comfortable of all the BOR bracelets, and a ‘school room clock’ dial

    Slightly rare, …but nothing to write home about

    Onwards, & upwards !
