Hi,
I was looking at this cal.265 for sale on eBay and saw a reference number on the outside of the case.
Does that mean it is some kind of an unoriginal case?
Btw, the dial looks original but Not really sure.

Have a happy new year!

Thanks a lot gatorcpa. This forum has always been of great help.

 

Any hallmarks to be found?

 

+1, agree with Adam on this.

 

I think it's a fake or custom case: doesn't properly fit the dial and an improper Swiss-style 18K hallmark.

 

Perhaps agreed hence my question regarding the (import) hall mark!

 

Ok, so I'll stay away from that watch and keep looking for the right one.
Thanks a lot for your expertise guys.

 

Actually TWO marks on the back.

Reference number of some sort and an 18K mark.

Pretty typical South American type case.
