my guess is that many of these watches with true enamel on the lug and and engravings along the side rails of the bezel, likely had those engravings shaded with matte black
I think that is likely too. Without it the sides are a bit blunt. What kind of paint did you use?


My cartouche 255 has 107 marked inside the case, but contains a cal 155.

And I have a tonneau shaped case with a cal 106 inside. With enamel on the sides… Will put in on the list to make some pictures for the caliber database. They are sister movements with clear differences.
