@davy26 how do the slots look on the outside of the CB ?

That's a very good point you've made there w154 - you should adopt a pic of Sherlock Holmes for your avatar! The slots on mine are more like 50/50, certainly not with the marked difference evident in the second of pics you've posted.

Just for you... and just for today 😀

edit: Well it would be just for today, but it seems that my Avatar won't update.

Oops I didn’t look at the dates, I thought the whole thread was new and I’d spotted a pointy A higher up.

Have you got a way to accurately weigh it, or measure the thickness of the caseback. That way we could check if it’s been skimmed as I have one that we could compare against.

Edit. The slots indicate it could have been skimmed. The majority of my slot is on the sloping part of the CB, whereas the majority of your slot is on the flat part. That suggests material has been removed from the flat part of the CB.

Yes, I think that would make sense. Anyway thanks for the observation

aka - I just noticed, looking at our respective pics of movements, that yours appears to have (but it could be the angle at which the pic was taken) a different crown from mine, which is slightly domed - just for your information, no big deal.

Agreed, could be the angle, but no big deal though.. How long is the power reserve should be if fully wounded?

Mine is giving 34 hrs 46 mins. I haven't seen any other reports of this metric for comparison, but my 30T2 runs well and consistently, keeping pretty good time.

Delete all of your cache pics/cookies and re-set your avatar.

As to the missing engravings on the caseback.

Speaking with 30 years military experience, and having been issued with various "controlled" items over that period (including a couple of watches), the "losing" of these items usually involved a forensic level of investigation by the box packers and the plods. So in my case, I didn't get away with much.

I had a mate I worked with in later years who, while serving in the RN, lost his Omega SM300 after a clearance dive. There was a full investigation and as he was at sea and had no way to pawn it for a night on the town, he was cleared.
Some months later as he was unpacking his kitbag at a new shore based posting, he found the watch in one of his booties. The "lost" case had been closed so he kept it but took the precaution of getting one of his mates to skim the back of the watch to remove the serial number, just in case.

I never did convince him to sell it to me, no matter how hard I tried 😁.

So ex-mil watches with obliterated identifiers are not unknown.
