I think the M-first case, above already did that, too.

Interesting. I wonder if it was done on purpose for some reason... You'd think they could have ensured symetry if they tried.

I know this is an older thread but wanted to add that I picked up a 277xxxx serial 1675 Pepsi GMT Master which equals a 1970 production year and it drove me nuts how the lower 4 o'clock CG was thinner than the top. I initially assumed it to be due to over polishing however when I started referencing the same 1970 production year on sites like HQ Milton, it became apparent that it was a common trait exclusively to this year. It's likely that the machining they used back then, was offset for a while until it was corrected the following serial production year.

Both the Crown Guards and the Lugs where hand done back in the Day So it’s entirely possible for one lug or CG to be thinner on even a unpolished example.

Haven’t seen this thread before, so I’m going to chime in as well!
Similar uneven CG on my MK IV as well. |
