What did the owner say about the caseback? Edit, this is a red flag. It is something that would generate huge interest in a watch. If that is factory or government engraving this is incredibly rare. Which means either this is a jackpot or a red flag. The idea that the owner stuck it on there doesn't sound too real to me; why add the SN and some issue/model number when you get a watch engraved, maybe because the stuff was rubbed off between the lugs? Polished off? Add the 9k price tag and you have concerns. If you hear hoofbeats, it's a horse, not a zebra . . . . .
