Three Photos / Very Different Dials and Hands


sorry to be joining in the discussion a bit late, but here are three photos, arranged top to bottom, as follows:

  • my Monaco
  • Nick's Monaco
  • the one shown OnTheDash

Scroll down quickly to compare the photos, and the differences become clear. A few of the differences are as follows:

  • style and detail in the script -- for example, look at the "A" in the word Monaco and the "R"in the word Heuer
  • style and detail in the numbers on the registers -- for example, look at the "4"s on the bottom registers
  • luminous dots at the 5-10-15-20 -- two dials have them / Nick's doesn't
  • hands are entirely different, as discussed in previous messages
  • applied markers -- smooth or textured (on Nick's)

That's a very quick look, and I thought that other readers might like to see the photos -- top to bottom. I can't say with certainty which are "real" (though I have confidence that mine [shown at the top] is real) and which aren't, but one thing is certain -- they are very "different".
