I've seen two 1533b's in the past month and three 73633b's and one 73633g. Infact was offered a 1533b today with a re-dial.
Very strange as i'm sure the seals would have been the same. One of X files then...
: Your estimate that approx. half the manual-wind Monacos have
: "problems" may be attributable to the "Gasket
: Goop". So many of these dials have been damaged by the
: oozing black tar, that an industry seems to have arisen in the
: replacement / refinished dials. Many of these end up in the
: hands of innocent, well-intentioned sellers . . . and some end
: up in the hands of people who just can't stand to take a loss,
: etc.
: Odd that we see more problems with the 73633B manual-winds than the
: 1133B automatics . . . there must be an explanation somewhere!!
