    Greetings, gents (& ladies)
    I'm still very new here, and looking to start/add to my collection. I was looking into this piece on ebay:
    http://www.ebay.com/itm/142258367155?_trksid=p2055359.m1431.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:ITPurchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network

    In my "research" I found a difference in the dials of these two similar models:

    Should there be a "T" flanking SWISS MADE or not? Did it vary from year to year? Thanks in advance for any help!

    No, the watch you're looking at does not have any tritium luminous on hour markers or hands, so no T's.

    As for cicindela's comment on the date/no date, my guess is that the back's been switched, not the dial and movement.

    May be a
    1. the watch in question depicts hands with a lume turned dark or stained. The hour hand appears cut
    2. Your guess is a supposition and a guess.

    I don't trust this watch.
