Then there is a common splayed coronet here:

Now the two controversial ones....and the last one is especially controversial, as it questions the short run touted by folks see last but one, old thread !!

I believe this traditional coronet version/font below, differs to the one above, so that might makes 3 std dials :

And then, wait for it, the Matte Pallettoni, a full set here:

All but my third one are discussed here including another member (chopperboys) 1985/6 matte full set here:

There is also the comex here :https://coron.et/auction-report/auct...x-relationship

One last observation, be careful..... there are 74 for sale on C24 and at least 3 (4%) have fake dials !!
So its the Burford type dial that intrigues me as to maybe it was a different dial maker Stern maybe ? I have no idea and there is very little info out there !
Thanks
