...here is a pic of my Phillip/Jenny Caribbean...I'll get some comparison pics up asap...
Great watch Oscar! There are some really interesting Philip watches from the 70s. Great to see yours in such nice condition and with the original bracelet.
I'm thinking the fake 709-1 cases are being sand-cast then laser engraved. They'll probably start changing the serial #'s now.
BTW The 709-1 series appears to have started with the 7093XXX serial # series. All of the 709 examples I've seen and cases I have are 7092XXX. There are subtle differences between the 2 models.
These watches are not often seen so it's easy to get taken.
Here's a shot of my 2 original keepers: a 712 Discochron and 709-1 Discosub:
