I would like clarification on the variant on the inner ring 6030 because I see two silver points under the 50 & 55 or two orange points also under the 50 & 55 .early production ...?

6030 from feb 70 I'd consider parting with a kidney for a nice OEM bezel/insert  |

I've got a NOS one and the pips are orange. If the original ones were silver, they would have changed because the additional colour means an additional operation on the pad printer.  |

Adrian I am confused. The numbers are already applied using silver, so this is a 2-color operation regardless of whether they go with silver or orange on the 50 and 55 dots, no ? I assign this to being like everything else Seiko, full of minute variations across production runs. |

The heat here is killing me. It's not dreadfully hot yet but I'm built for the northern frosts. You're right it's a 2 colour job here. When I wrote this I thought the letters were white.....
