George, these are random numbers,

So, it doesn't mean nothing.

A firend of mine got a 3XX / 768, and it came in December, so with the 1st dial.

what has a meaning is the moment you received it, or more precisely, the moment your AD received it for you.

If it was more than 2 or 3 weeks, I'm pretty sure you got the first dial.

BUT, does it really matter?

I mean, yes, of course, it would have been better to have the luminous indexes AND numbers .

But,in another way, will it, as you said, change your mind to knkiow that the indexes are not glowing?

Wise words, George.

Best,

Nicolas

As all this is very confussing to poor little me (and probably lots of other people), would it be possible for you to give a detailed description of the differences between the two dials and maybe accompany it all by some pictures showing the differences....

Here's a link to Peter Villaume answer, who described very well the differences between the first batch of dials, and the second. jlc.watchprosite.com You wil notice that some differences exist, indeed. Here's a pic taken from Peter Villaume's post: And h...

Nicolas, Thanks for the explanations, I think that I have got it now. The watch is serial number 191 and I don't know whether that means that it is a batch 1 or not. Guess that I will have to waite for my birthday to open the box and find out what I wound...
