1675 PCG case

Any thoughts on this case? If its authentic it sure looks good for being 54 years old.

Numbers too hard to read to make a good judgement.

Engraving font is wrong easy to see, 1960's watch did not have that font on certain letter until later I cannot mast more otherwise fakers will fix it, like they fixed the long E's

X2

Totally agree. The font doesn't match the year the serial number.

I'm pretty slow to openly pronounce something a fake and call someone a liar but I do find it amazing that a 54 year old case has ZERO corrosion on it.

Besides the "incorrrect font for a certain letter," the watch appears freshly stamped - the stamping is too perfect! The early 1960s stampings never looked this good.
