Whats taken me 10 years to figure out, this article put together in one spot. Really well written and informative, I cant even argue a single point as it is factually correct.

Funny coincidence, just last week I purchased a watch from a seller who may have thought his watch case was either fake or re-engraved because it had the Stainless Steel and Registered Design reversed on the case.

I had seen it before and knew the case was good. I have found this to be the case primarily on the 4.2m cases. Sure enough, in this very article the writer not only mentions it as correct, but also shows a photo of the very same anomaly.

I will post pics of the case I just purchased to support the writers findings.

Very well done and a must read for seasoned collectors and newbies alike!

I assume the price as well under market? More pics of the dial and bezel?

Nice article, but I seriously doubt whether most of the GMT guys that I know would agree with the time frame or serial number range for radial GMTs quoted in this writing.
