All -71 backs have the hippocampus. Rarely, they are lacking the moonwatch printing. As usual, a single photo from the OP would avoid all of this speculation.
Dan, that is what I meant, I just wasn't clear and I misunderstood the OP when he stated he had the hippocampus. From what I understand the vast majority come with the engraved medallion AND the hippocampus and a rare few had just the hippocampus and a smooth caseback.

it's clean, but to me it doesn't evoke "vintage" i like the yellowed marker look. it's a matter of individual preference, but i prefer one that shows some past history, some signs of a life well lived. vintage wabi sabi.

if you like it, scratch that itch. it's a great watch to just stare at on your wrist.
