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, either.

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...
