·Probably stupid newbie question, but: I've recently discovered a Nivada Antarctic I'm very much tempted to buy, I think it's a really, really nice watch.
However, I found that a quite similar watch was sold a few years back, and that if these are indeed the same watch, the dial must've been extensively reworked.
So here's my question: would an early 60s Nivada Antarctic have a serial number on the back side, or are these numbers and letters like a watch type or model indication? Unless I'm misreading, the inscription is 8852M2107 on both images/watches.
The Antarctic automatic (I mean issued as Nivada, not Croton Nivada) has model number 2107 for the date version and 2105 without the date. From its first edition (around 1958) to the mid sixties, the model number stayed the same, but cases, casebacks and dials varied).
