'RITE-ANGLE' "D"
*edit: scratch that notion admin, the "D" variant has a non engraved bezel, subject Watch is engraved.
my bad.
'RITE-ANGLE'
So the difference, based on ad above, is the mount? "D" on the bracelet and "A" on leather? The hands (dial?) are slightly different? O my... The minute hand in the "A" above may be exaggerated in length, as it looks like it would hit the vertical bezel and not clear the sides to make a revolution.
In reply to I don't think we have any by bourg01
In reply to Yea I agree. The engraved by William Smith
In reply to ...but I think the watch in by William Smith
That is amazing. I assume that's a keeper, can we see it after it's serviced and polished also?
I think we will uncover the variant letter sooner or later.
edit:
Just some interesting movement history, here. The 8AZ is the 8.75 ligne version of the FHF 125, which became the Rolex 59. This FHF 125 predates the FHF 30 that it became, available with different bridge shapes. The 125 reminds me of Aegler movts sourced by Rolex early on. Both the 125 and its lookalike 30 were used by Rolex. The main difference* here is the smaller size. Does it have a Breguet overcoil, Shawn?
*as well as the level of adjustments and tests the Rolex version would be required to have and pass.
