    I too seem to have seen more showing up lately on the auction block. I wasn’t paying that much attention however and it could have been a non- payment and relist several weeks in a row

    Yes. It’s generally accepted that these came after the DON and are the first DNN bezels.

    Fresh to UK from Canada today. Bit of a meteor but not bad first find for a 'newbie'.
    Need the correct -69 Caseback if anyone could point me in the right direction?. Has a -71 which doesn't really make sense unless it was purely updated at the time to mark the event!.

    Have you checked that the movement is in the proper range?

    Yep!

    The -71 caseback made me wonder if it might have been a bezel swap rather than caseback, but that's the correct range for a 220.
