RADIAL...not RAIL.

Radial dial Gmt is often referred to as a the MK III dial and is often seen around the low 5.0 mil circa 1977.

The Rail Dial is seen in some rare 1655's and 1665's and is when the "C" in Chronometer is directly over the "C" in Certified. These dial were made by the Stern Company.
