I didn't realize that they had started engraving the backs of Subs as well now? Here's a pic from this honest sellers auction... is "escape" spelled with a "D" instead of a "P"?

"This doesn't look much like my Sub..."

That might be because it's a Sea-Dweller.

In any event, it's a counterfeit.

I think this is a private line of watches made by Walter when he was in Geneva
