While looking at a 105012 dial I noticed something curious : the word "professional" is not perfectly centered, but printed slightly to the right.

Here is the "B2 Close T" dial from Moonwatch Only (let's call it mark 1)



And mine (mark 2)



Correct marking at 6 o'clock



How can we explain this difference ?
I think all B2 dials (or at least some of them) are actually Ed White dials (A7) with the word "professional" printed later. Under the loupe, the thickness, the shine and the colour of the word "professional" are a little different... it's very subtle and not easy to show on the pictures. This could also explain why it is not always perfectly centered, and I would not be surprised to see more variations than the 2 marks I noticed so far.





What do you think ?

 

The one in MWO is actually printed more to the left, while yours is more centred. I've also noticed what you've observed and agree with your reasoning.

 

Don't hesitate to share pictures of your 105012's so we can compare

 

Dear all! I am a newcomer, please have a look at this one. Just considering to buy..

 

Up !
Other opinions ?

 

Correct.

 

My 105.012-65 appears to have the PROFESSIONAL centred. It looks closer to the second example than the first in the OP, but possibly very slightly different in position (using the eye here, so will need to get a loupe or a good photograph to be sure).
