Hello - I'm new here!

I have a query that I'm hoping some of you more experienced Speedmaster guys may be may able to shed a little light on for me.

I've noticed on a few pre-moon examples that some of the bezel numbers are cropped off like the example below. Any any information on why this is would be really interesting.

Thanks
Matt

 

Hmm, also seen but never really realized, interested as well!

 

Normal. I guess the manufacturing tolerance were a bit wider back then. Both mine are similar, though not on the 60.

 

No laser printers in the early 60s

 

I thought this may be the case

 

Well, t thought there’s a big story behind .
But,of course, your right the tolerances make sense.
Thankyou
