...another "what sub mark" question.

I'm afraid I'm not Wahlberg, Knopfler, Mark or Skid but like Blaner, I don't know what mine is either.
I do know the serial number dates it to 1967, the bracelet is a 93150, the dial looks matt, it keeps really good time and I wear it every day.
I'd be more than grateful for any more information about it's dial and insert.
Many thanks
DV

So I believe it's a pukka matte dial, but how do you find out about the insert?
Long 5, thick font etc it's a mystery to me.

Difficult for me to tell but is it a fat font MK2 or a fat font Mk3?
Could either be on a 1967 watch?

So it's a meters first, matte dial with a fat font Mk3 insert.

As far as I know it hasn't been relumed.
One of the thirds in the hour hand (the one with the mark) fell out a few years ago and I had it replaced and stabilised.
