Hi mate

I guess what I mean is that the value of a blue transitional is that the dial is different to std one and the hands are steel square edged, so on a 1133G unless we see one with these pictured square steel edged hands and original lume then imo the value of the aligned script is minimal over the std 1133G. A nice script difference is still interesting for us to note of course but that is what it is.

If we start digging into the small script differences and placements and making them different executions (which I'm not a fan of) then we will see about 4-5 different matte dial 1133b script placements also, but they are all valued in the same manner, even though some are rarer.

But that's just my opinion, one of many I'm sure!

Cheers
