Thin font and different numbers for the date, on the A-81x version. Interesting! [nt]

The 81x has a service date disc (unfortunately). Eagles‘ eyes 🦅 👀

Service hands on second, third and fourth row. Only A-3x has no service parts.

Is the second row 81x a replacement dial? Graphics are different and dial is blue ?! [nt]

Wondering the same thing!

Aging. Fotos taken showing same watch with only some years inbetween.

...

A-81X looks very blue + minute marks are full length at date window, is it a service dial?

By: bear_neat9f : January 31st, 2025-14:41

See the PM that I sent you. But in short: yes, the 81X dial has been refurbed by AP in LeBrassus
