1802

Greetings and Happy New Year's Eve!

I wanted to verify if serial number 9XXXXX would be in the realm of production of an 1802. I have done a search online and have not been able to find a definitive answer.

Also, on this particular watch, the serial number is crisp, but the reference number looks to be hand engraved, I'm guessing it was worn off so it was traced over. Would the experts consider this a deal breaker?

The watch is being sold by a well respected dealer and are offering it with a warranty and COA guarantee.

Any thoughts, opinions and replies would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers!

Please post pics of the engravings. Fake case engraving stick out like a sore thumb and we will be able to tell you if its ok or not.

"Hand engraved" would be a deal breaker for me, if true. Pics would be nice, as noted.
