·Ahh, Once again my reading comprehension has let me down. I see your point.
@ndgal, can you clarify this remark, "The flat "No nipple" hour subdial hands (Leaf or stick) were standard from the CK2915-1 reference to early 105.003-63/64."?
Does this mean that some early 105.003s had the no nipple? If so, did they appear alongside the ones with the nipple, or is it believed that there was a cut over after a brief period? Is there any indication of a date period when a switch was made?
This is all new to me so thanks to all for the explanations.
I recently acquired a completely untouched 105.003-64 'Ed White' from a single family ownership and it has the "No nipple" hour subdial hand.
As this is a completely untouched specimen, it is safe to assume that this is how it came from the factory. I have seen others (105.003) in the past, but none were in such magnificent state of preservation and originality that it was anyone's guess if the part was installed the factory or at some later point/service.
As received:

You keep stating facts with no evidence to back them up and expect everyone to blindly take your words as the truth.
What leads you to this theory?

·You understand the point though? Anyone could just show a picture of a few watches and say, “I own loads of these and have read loads of books, listen to what I say as I’m right”. It doesn’t mean anything unless you can evidence your investigation and conclusions.
Simply stating something as fact with no justification isn’t going to win over people who don’t agree.

·This. I mean I could state as a fact I have a beautiful well behaved cuddly cat. And the pictures support this. In fact she is a scratchy psycho and has killed at least 3 Vets.

An important point David makes above. There is a seductive quality on fora like these to attain “expert” status without the commensurate work.
Onserving a few watches with the same characteristics should not be categorized as fact, but anecdotal evidence. When others chime in with the same observation, and/or our “real” experts weigh in (as ndgal above), then there is a higher probability of accuracy.
