Serial number is on the movement. Here is an example of the inside of a Ref. 2850 case:

Cases can sometimes be also be dated by their separate serial numbers.

Pictures of your watch would be helpful and appreciated.

Brian,

usually ref 2850 has 8 digit case serial numbers.
But don´t worry, your serial number is also correct.
I have one in my collection with a 6 digit only case serial number beginning with 19xxxx and only 93 numbers apart from your´s.

Many thanks!! was concerned..

None of that makes any sense at all. If you are talking about a separate watch, a 1970 Speedmaster for instance it might be best to post a photo and say so otherwise it sounds like you have one very weird 2850.

Well now the OP needs to show pix of the watch........you know the drill, no pix = it didn't happen

HOPEFULLY THESE IMAGES WORK!

Those photos have no connection to your question about a ref 2850SC from 1956.
