Hmmmmmmm

If link does not work then its eBay number 271077659739


TO ME:
Letters look engraved not stamped
Letter Spacing is wrong to me
Font is real real odd
S in Switzerland is to far to the right (not under the O) this throws off all the rest of the words lining up.

Interested to hear what you see

If you can compare it to other casebacks of similar vintage you have a fighting chance of determining authenticity otherwise you`ll have to rely on the opinion of vintage collectors.

I`m suspicious of the I 69 part of the stamping,it looks too much the same as the rest,it should look different in my opinion.

It is very different from these two examples...

But I am not worried for watchmakers who might be buying vintage case backs - they ought to know how to spot a fake.
