    These have recently popped up. I bought one of these, so I have one in hand. While it lacks the extreme attention to detail and sharpness that I see in my original cases, it does seem authentic. Is there enough interest/value in Memomatics to counterfeit these cases?.
    What say the experts?

    Looks identical to my 1969 .072, but your 1st photo you posted isnt that great to be honest, so cant see edges on the case sides etc

    The Seamaster on the case back is /was not a deep engraving either, so that matches too

    Mine says hi!

    I can't imagine there being a market for counterfeits of these.

    Different from OP's, maybe a service case?

    I have three original Memomatics. There are numerous differences, like the caseback, that I can see. Recently, I posted a similar question about a Speedmaster case the same seller was selling and the consensus was that the case was a real Speedmaster case, possibly a service case.
    Is this case possibly a service case?

    I am hopeful that, at this point no one has said "ooh yah, that's one of those Asian counterfeit cases".
