Thanks. Speaking of case back stickers... Don't think that any came with both a transparent case back sticker and hologram, which means that the transparent one on this watch was added later. Which in and of itself doesn't mean anything, but worth pointing out if there weren't already enough speculation that OP was taken for a ride.

I've seen them with the green case back sticker and the clear case back sticker on the NOS versions prior to the early 2000 ful sticker version. Below is an NOS "A" serial GMT sold during March 2000.
