    It is correct. All steel 168.005's should have a one piece back, with a struck steel medallion.

    There are at least 3 manufacturers for this reference and there are some variations even within the same manufacturer. I guess yours was made by HF. Can you post a picture of the inside case back?

    Nice bracelet! Did it come with the watch?

    The lugs' side bevels and edges also vary slightly for the stainless steel 168.005.
