    I had my eye on lot 168 initially but then forgot about the auction (whoops). What was the final price?

    Though on the back of each lug there is a crack/line which concerned me.

    That line on the back of each lug is very common on all UG steel pieces from that time period. It is actually something I look for on them.

    Common on older watches, generally speaking. From MWR forum:

    "they're evidence of how the case & lugs were formed. The case & lugs were essentially forged or shaped around a form or mandrel."

    I have never been able to truly ascertain what it is exactly. I have examined up close and it only appears to be a man made scratch in each lug which is why they tend to be a bit crooked and uneven. I do not believe they are any type of seam.
