: include (a) 1st execution dial with 2nd execution hands, and (b)
: 2nd execution dial with 3rd execution hands, BUT NOT, (c) 1st
: execution dial with 3rd execution hands.

Thanks for the link to the reference table.
It also appears to have the 'later' tachy ring, which if I understand correctly, should be found with the 2nd execution dial, and not the first, which would indicate to me that the dial has been changed at some point, rather than the hands? Anyone with more experience than me want to correct that statement?

I suppose the last question is this: is having the incorrect hands/dial a deal-breaker?
the seller claims he is the first owner, and that it has not been modified in the time he's had it...
