    Hello,

    i purchased this from America and noticed that it has no ref. number on the caseback. Do i need to worry about it?

    regards, Max

    Looks like a south american made case with a refinished dial.

    Not sure about the case being authentic. The fonts on the hallmarking do not look right to me. I'd have it tested for gold content.

    Dial is a rather crude redial also.

    Indeed agree with Gator on this one

    The hammer head symbol looks all wrong, and if indeed the case was made in LA, why would they then stamp with a Cedex, Swiss responsibility mark (the 170 number)?

    Cheers, paul

    The helvetia is certainly wrong also.
