·Hello all,
I would appreciate it if someone here could help me understand the situation with a 321 that I bought as a refurbished watch from a Tourneau dealer about 10 years ago. Here are the basic facts: the movement has a serial number of 25443446 which I think indicates a 145.012 from 1967; the case back is marked with 105012-66 CB, and with what appears to be a factory marking of 145 012 SP; the case was overly polished when I bought it, there are no facets on the top of the lugs, but the sides of the lugs look much thinner than my HF cased 861. I'm confused by the inside case back markings. Is this a 145.012 reference 321 that somehow got a CB-marked case back somewhere along the way? Or is there another explanation? Thanks for any help with this, Mark
