Aside from the obviously incorrect chrono center hand which is from a superocean ref 2005 This is a strange watch , why are the hole in the dial around the subdial hands so big ? http://www.ebay.de/itm/MAGNIFICENT-VINT ... 1e8ecb2eb6  But , its an immaculate dial , great bezel, just a nagging feeling |

You and Fred being the experts on this watch, but it seems to me that this dial is too small for this watch. There appears to be a gap all the way around between the dial and inner case. Or is it my eyes again? |

The 765 and 7650 dials are the same size afaik Gap might be a 7656 bezel on a 7650 case , or worse , a 7656 / 7650 bezel on a 765 case But that doesnt explain the space around the subdial hands ? Both the 765 and the 7650 use the 178 movement , so that should fit perfectly on the dial amd should center the hands as well Weird |

Dial may previously have been used on a different movement with larger pinions requiring enlarging of the holes. Would be interesting to see if the original dial feet are still in place. |

I was thinking exactly the same thing. so are we saying there are 2 versions 178 movements , of which 1 version has larger pinions ? |

Just saying the dial could have been on a franken watch prior with, for example. a Valjoux movement instead which would explain the modification. |

And if mated to something other than a 178 the dial feet would likely have had to have been moved. |
