There are a couple of dozen concentric cirular ridges on each of my 3 sub-dials of the 9g-600. It makes each sub-dial sort of look like a miniature vinyl record. This causes the paint to be distributed on a 3-dimensional surface which causes it to appear irrregular from many angles and distances. Seems to be "as designed" but I am curious if others see the same. Ken, I gather even with your 2x magnification you don't see any concentric circular ridges on your dial eh? Hmmm... I wonder how much of this is me being obsessive compulsive, or whether I have a different version of the wach. Still, I guess I can't complain considering I get compliments on it, it keeps time to within 5 seconds a day, and it runs for about 42 hours if left on my nightstand. I really like the sapphire crystal- it looks like there's nothing there at all... and the charcoal gray background is so easy to look at even in full sunlight. No reflection.

Take a look at this ebay auction: http://cgi.ebay.com/Brand-New-Swiss-Army-9G-600-Chronograph-Air-Force-Watch_W0QQitemZ110143551183QQihZ001QQcategoryZ31387QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Notice most of the pictures have a dial with the 3 o'clock marker displayed, but the last photo lacks the 3 o'clock marker (as does Ken's photograph). Are there 2 versions of the watch? Is one a knock off?

I can only assume that Victorinox has made minor changes to and updated the dial.
