69178 caseback

Does a 69178 have Original Rolex Design on the caseback? I thought the only Rolex that had writing on the caseback was the Seadweller. Couple of them on Ebay now. Not Seadwellers, 69178's. Ladies President.

Milgauss also has writing on the back , as did ladies Datejust (18kt) and day/dates in the 80s. I think it was to cover, while a patent was pending

Pleasure, I think crowncollection and a few others can add to the "bones" I gave

I just ran across it/them and didn't know if they were fakes or no. Not that they couldn't be for another reason. One was engraved into the gold, the other was black like the Sea Dweller. Looked suspect. I learned something. Thanks again.
