Did all A series Sea Dwellers have only "Swiss" on the dial?
Just curious about this. I saw an A serial for sale that had "Swiss Made" on the dial. Either the seller has the serial wrong, or only a certain portion of the A serials have "Swiss" only. Can someone chime in?

Quite a few possible explanations; First, the serial number guide is just a reference to give us a general idea of when the watch was made, it certainly does not guarantee when a watch was produced. Second, the SD did not sell as fast as its Sub counterpart, so it is certainly possible that "Swiss Made" dial is on an "A" serial. Finally, if it was an early "A" serial, it could have had a tritium dial that has already been replaced during service.
