While examining a macro of the ref 5207, I noticed that the stamp on the movement contained some imperfections. The tops of some of the letters are not completely filled and appear darker. Would a stamp process versus hand engraving explain the unevenness? Have any other Breguet owners noticed the same? The second and third images were uploaded just for fun.
