My Crosshair collection.

Besides collecting Connies, Rg's, 30T1, T2 etc...I also collect dials with crosshairs. To me, the crosshair on the dial always makes it look stronger, better and a "peace of mind".
Being afraid of the MOY test, redialers always try to avoid these crosshairs. Well, you want to do the MOY test huh? Do it yourselves, We don't supply the tools.

That's the reason I love the crosshairs on my dials.

This one is already shown in the other thread. Connie with a 551 movement in a 14381 case.

The crosshair of a dial of a connie, 564 movement, caseback # 168.005.

The distance to the "l".

The crosshair of a dial with arrowhead markers, 505 movement. Snapback.

Crosshair on a black dial.

Finally, the crosshair of a dial from an Omega with 352 chronometer movement, caseback # 2516.

Well, those are my...hairs.

Show me yours, please....

very nice collection of crosshairs.

Hi Hoipolloi Thanks for your info. Your collection is great.I take your point on the "l" on my constellation...just wonder though whether all Caliber 551 dial should look the same. Could it be that omega may produxe the dial in different batches so the di...

Thanks for sharing. Those crosshairs make the dials look better, do they ? Hi Stephen. At the first look, I was a bit surprised tosee the ends of your crosshair go over the hour markers to the end of the dial's edge. Your "Swiss Made" is not aligned, eith...

Look at the star...

Have a close look where the cross hair goes through the star - it is not in the center! So how about the precision on printing in those days? I have seen both on original dials: the cross hair reaching the marker and the cross hair reaching the edge... No...
