I'm confused, who is the original poster/person who knows the person who has the watch? Is it the OP aka slashd0t, or is it ju5t1nb? It seems the pictures are being posted from both accounts?

ju5t1nb is the friend of mine who knows the guy who has it. He is the one who originally told me about it and I posted it here.

Yes , I noticed it as well ... Well just today as I was
researching the very first GMT model released the

well in the dial ... Come to find out underline dials were
replacement dials from RSC when they serviced the watch if the
dial needed to be replaced for what ever reason .

So admittedly I'm a'la confused but no matter. Nice story - but doesn't an off centered SWISS on that dial in the first pic pose some other questions?
Just curious...

Underline dials... it's not that simple as this post from Orchi illustrates
