Late for the small subdials, but that's OK. I doubt that the outer sliderule is original as there should be some red on them by 1966, but those were often replaced during servicing. Judging from the uneven wear on the pushers and crown there have been some replacements there as well, but again no real concern. Looks like a nice example. |

Thanks for the help. Would you say this is a 1966? |
