This case is no good...

I wish I was wrong about this one. The papers were probably made up for this case as well...

Refer to my thread in the watch out section with some of the obvious observations. See below:

My recently purchased '72 Mk4 (Serial: 3.4M). Love the red bit on the dial and faded insert.

I love red writing on the dial

Mark III 2.19 mil III69, the dial turns chocolate brown under the sun.

Hello!
I`m very sad if my watch have been considered as a fake and my message marked with RED without more opinions.
If after the Oficial Service my watch will result fake, myself tell you it and you will put a red flag over my name.
Thank you.

Very nicely done Mario, you took the info with great aplomb.
Once you have word from RSC can you return the watch to the seller
for refund?
