Mike,
What do you make of all these dial variations? Is there a rhyme or reason to it? What do you suppose is going on at the factory? Are they just making it up as they go along?
With so many watches and so many variations, it's difficult to perceive any pattern or method.

Note the smaller indices along with the slightly larger markers at 6 and 9. The variation also used a bit longer coronet.
