Often times we see a 145.022-69/71/74 listed for sale somewhere with crappy pictures or bad lighting and we see people on the forum trying to figure out if it is or isn't a step dial.
Though there are several other small differences between C1 & C2 dials, the most obvious one (other than the step of course) is the
E in
OMEGA.
The middle stroke on the
E on a C1 dial is dead center, while on C2 it is more towards the top.
That's how you can tell if it's a step dial or a flat dial even if the picture is crappy or the lighting or photo angles are bad.
Even the "MOONWATCH ONLY" book does not mention this.
In fact, the book's description of the OMEGA print on the C1 & C2 dials is exactly the same:
