    Unless I'm mistaken, I don't think a "coat hanger S" is correct for this era but rather the big rounded S. But maybe there is more than one acceptable set of fonts? The Meister store logo also doesn't seem quite right.

    Also, another question: so the Chronometer-certified 751 Seamasters still get the same reference number as the non-Chron 752s right? In other words no special reference just because it has the fancier movement?
    Thanks & HAGWE all,
    T.

    No sparky dial, lume dots appear new and irregular, minute marks irregular, fonts look odd...I vote redial.

    Refinished dial for sure.

    Same case and back was used for chronometer and non chronometer versions, note the two reference numbers inside the back.

    Third digit represents the case and movement type: 6 = Water-resistant Calendar 8 = Water-resistant Chronometer Calendar
