Oh man, am i getting senile or what, even if i’m not even that close to 50 yet... You are just so right, mine is a -64 god damnit. 😀 What was i thinking, and yes, all the other ones i was referring to where -64’s as well.
- hour and minute hand probably relumed at some point
I think it’s fine although I don’t recall seeing a -63 ever? Here’s mine.
Compare both of the pictures of the casebacks, and you will see that both reference numbers are stamped 165024-6 and in both the number 3 has been added later. The 165024-6 is even and identical in “print” and the 3 shows a different trace from the stamping tool.
This could easily have happened if the factory at the time of printing a new reference didn’t know when this reference would have been released, so they chose to leave out the last number of the year for this first reference. Sounds logical to me.
