is this rolex caseback legit?
i acquired a box of watch parts etc at an estate auction a number of years ago, with this caseback in the box. THere were a lot of rolex items, bracelet clasps & diver's extensions that all proved legit.
But something about this caseback worries me, mainly the engraving on the inside surface just doesn't rolex factory quality to me - i'm not by any means any kind of rolex expert so i figured i'd throw this out there for someone more knowledgeable |

i can't image someone having so much time on their hands that they'd bother to counterfeit a caseback. Unless they're counterfeiting the entire watch in qty and had to.

Here is a clear pic of what it should look like.

i can reduce it but the engraving does not look anywhere near as clean as the engraving in your caseback took 5 more shots, this is the best i'm going to get from this camera - not only is the engraving in your caseback crisper / cleaner, the cutting when they dished out the caseback is cleaner. |

It looks like a vintage double red sea dweller caseback. I'd say fake because I have never see that "R" font before, but I'm not a vintage expert
