    The running seconds and chrono minute subs look odd. Misaligned 4 in 24 and 7 in 27. Production quirk or reprint?

    Thanks all. I thought so but wanted to confirm. I shied away at first but then circled back, the more I looked the more I tried to convince myself!

    Nice looking though.

    I just got this off Dre recently, looks to be similar, I'm assuming this one is original, minus the sub hand.

    I was so fixated on the subs that I didn't even notice the Swiss made

    I think he's talking about the first one. Perhaps the hour subdial with open 6s and 9s is original, with the others redone?

    yes, maybe. That hour sub is what had me keep looking. I couldn't get comfortable with the second sub; and the chrono counter def looks off especially the 24 & 27. My first gut was no good (not noticing the swiss made while I stared at subs) but I figured 2nd opinion time (and 3rd, 4th,. 5th, the more the merrier)

    The one you have started with. Obviously, the good one has them opened across the whole dial, not just one sub dial.

    At a minimum its a partial redo
