    Guys;

    I read it in the link below that the seamaster logo went through a 3-phase transition from a sharp S with a lower r, to a rounded S with an aligned r, and finally to an rounded S with an aligned r.

    Then, I saw this dail in the attached pic, which has a rounded S with a lower r. Definitely a redial? thoughts? isn't linen dial harder to do a redial given its surface texture?

    Curved S and drop r is legit on Seamasters. This one is from the mid fifties.

    I'm sure Mark is a nice guy, but hardly an expert on early Seamasters, there are plenty of examples here to use as references.
