路The following query is the result of a certain paranoia and a substantial lack of knowledge but I am curious. The printing on your ref. 9024 appears slightly thicker than on the one above. Is this normal? Nice crown by the way.
Looks to me as within acceptable tolerance - even across my quartet the thickness of the printing varies slightly.

路Yes the printing thickness is varying slightly across these references. Another point is that I took the pictures with my mobile. Cropped at 100% they are always somewhat blurry which might increase the effect. I can also add a close-up of the dial later.
Well @yako54 I think I'm gonna need a closer look. Send it to me and I'll ensure it's well taken care of in the inspection. Could take a little while to complete ... the um ... inspection

Attached two close-up pics. In direct comparison the printing on my silver 291 is clearly thicker than on the one with golden furniture. It is also not that crisp when you examine it with a loupe. I blame it on the "linen" dial structure. Longines printed their fonts under the varnish on these models as far as I know.

路I'm assuming this has been posted here before, considering @ulackfocus and @dougiedude used to own this, but I'm wearing it today and realized I've never posted it here myself. I've owned this for almost a year now, but I still can't get enough of this Admiral. Aside from the arrowhead markers and sunburst silver dial, I also love the lines and triangle that help you set and tell the time.
