I've never heard of this but can someone comment... My 1680 date dial has all open 6's and 9's except for the 26. What do you guys know about this?

TimeToGo · 27 November 2010, 03:24 AM

You are good. I borrowed this picture from another site.

MonBK · 27 November 2010, 03:31 AM

Good catch.

Rickster · 27 November 2010, 03:32 AM

Nice! Thanks a lot!!

Damage Inc. · 27 November 2010, 03:33 AM

My 1675 is the same way...seems pretty normal. Odd though huh?

TimeToGo · 27 November 2010, 03:36 AM

Odd - Indeed!

29 is open also...

Makes you wonder.

Damage Inc. · 27 November 2010, 03:40 AM

It's also strange (to me anyway) that the 21 & 31 appear to be larger than the rest in the 20-31 series. I suppose it's due to the smaller space needed for the 1, but that still doesn't explain the closed 6 on 26 while the 9 is open in 29.

Will (likely) never know the reason.

The numbers in the teens are all large, 21 & 31 are just the reverse of 12 & 13. But yeah that closed 6 in 26 is a mystery!

minjitta · 27 November 2010, 06:25 AM

Also 11 is not align with other 1

My circa 1977 1665 is the same way...It is correct...No worries....

I think it looks odder when you see it on the exposed dial, once it's in the date window it will look centred.

This is crazy!

I matched the marks on the datewheel teeth......

You guessed........A Mercedez symbol.....

This is amazing!
