The anodized dial surface has also been aged. Different watches had different Indices (number) thickness. For example the non sub-dial MM Dial (Rolex movement) had slightly thicker numbers than the sub-dial MM Dial (Angelus Movement). This is because of the different ages of the dial. The early dials (1940\u2019s) had quite thick numbers (note the 3646) and the later 1950\u2019s dials had thinner numbers (6152 LP and MM). Both dial type number thickness do not have to be totally accurate, the thickness varied a little on all types.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"762\" src=\"http:\/\/www.vintagewatchparts.co.uk\/wordpress2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/pantograph-002-1-1024x762.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3958\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.vintagewatchparts.co.uk\/wordpress2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/pantograph-002-1-1024x762.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/www.vintagewatchparts.co.uk\/wordpress2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/pantograph-002-1-300x223.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.vintagewatchparts.co.uk\/wordpress2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/pantograph-002-1-768x572.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.vintagewatchparts.co.uk\/wordpress2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/pantograph-002-1.jpg 1075w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>  <strong>6152 How to build stage 57<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The authentic dial was Pantograph Engraved this is a \u201chand operated\u201d machine.
