@Jfullm42 Welcome to OF, congrats on the 2998 Btw sure there are a few interested parties waiting for you to post something
As for the Viggen it looks correct - note I'm a n00b so I'll defer to the experts.
As you can see the M has had some ware is it possible the numbers are there? Yes the Series 1 early examples though I'm not sure where the line is numerically is. The number is between 6 o'clock. Since your a long time rolex guy where you'd find serial or ref. Can't remberer which round. The number is in xxx format and spot welded. It's very rudimentary but distinguishing and easy to know if it's an early series 1. Further more the serials of the 2 batches are knows some of the pros can help you here.
Cheers Pat
