With so many watches and so many variations, it's difficult to perceive any pattern or method.

Mark,
This was a time when Rolex received there dials from several sources, Stern, Bryeler, and Singer among the top three. A lot of variation occured as it seems Rolex only applied the luminating compound. Hands were also sourced from different places as well.
The one that has always given me fits is the tremendous variation in coronets.
Even today as Rolex tightens controll on parts and sourcing we see subtle variations, sometimes within the same letter series.
Drives collector's nuts!!
