Ref 13805. Don't think I have seen much legit UG's with the gold mark and casemaker sign punched in the outside caseback (and for that matter not much 454's as well)

Another ref. that comes to my mind is 109138.

See this one for example

Can’t fault it either, but the combination of the dial being in such pristine condition and the seller’s name always makes me a bit cautious.
The name concerned me too. What is the general sentiment towards Lorologiese? I have seen so many blatant redials under their name I stopped looking

Just noticed the listing mentions that the dial has be restored aka redialed.

To be fair, I have never bought from this seller. He often has interesting UGs for sale. However, the fact that dial swaps or redials have sometimes not been disclosed in the past means you'd have to do proper due-diligence before considering anything to purchase there.

I think that many people, like you, are skeptical, not necessarily of just redials, but of frankens

Hands are relumed and case refinished. Tastefully done though, def looks much better after getting prepped for sale. I could swear the last case serial digit is a 5 on the Ricardo watch, and it’s a 6 on goldammer, but it’s def the same case, ( there’s a service mark or something scratched on the inside case back), must just be an optical illusion with the 5 vs 6, the Ricardo pics are not great.

I think these no space no dash tricompax dials are kinda cool
Yes, the serial number on the back is different on the caseback. I noticed some of the same marks on the dial.

Ref. 109260 is another one which has the marks outside on the caseback. This one is offered here:
