    Hello all,
    I need advice on these two watches. The 1971 is pretty clean overall but I am clueless when it comes to period correct parts. Now I know the 1976 has been fitted with a much older dial. My real question is, is the 145.022 1971 dial and bezel period correct?
    Also when I compare the watches I notice minute differences. Is the 145.022 - 71 fake? Or am I just looking too hard into things. Thanks for all of your expert opinions

    The 76 has some serious issues.

    Late 80’s dial narrow T’s... printed logo.... odd lume.

    The -71 looks correct from what I can see... not the prettiest in the pictures though.

    Step dial, correct font, lume seems of period. DNN bezel.

    Maybe pedantic but you don't indicate which watch you think is a 76 and the other being a 71.

    I think it’s to weed out the experts from the novices......clearly I’m a novice because they look fairly similar to me :D

    I’m assuming the bottom one is the 71 as that would be correct for a 71. The yellow lumed one is s mess and I assume the 76.
