I would be leary as that caseback does not match the year of the watch being 1953....he is accurate about the lume strip opposed to the circle used in 54' but none are really recorded...1st I have seen...but that caseback was not used until 65'.....$4900. would be dirt cheap for that watch imho being authentic:) I personally would like to see a sideview of this watch as that is the big telltale in researching genuine 50 fathoms yourock.gif
Great pickup O. Just another reason I would never make a move without consulting with my 3T mentors!! The correct case back should have been like this:

Did the early models for the French Frogmen have any lume strip or circle? I thought that came a little later.
