Hi again all. I picked this up from what seems to be a reputable online dealer but as always I would feel much more comfortable with non biased people telling me it's real. Hopefully people are familiar with the model, thanks! Also I noticed on other photos that some of the backs have more writing on them, why is this?

I'm not sure, maybe the back was replaced? I have seen others with more on the back than this has, hoping someone on here would know. It has the number on the bracelet "823a" though.

thats the bracelet reference, I would guess it's from 1999 - newer models have a different caseback....wait for Roffensian or one of the others to comment more.

Looks good to me, but the fact that i dont see any serial number makes me a bit uneasy

It's real.

Serial number was either removed by a grey market seller, removed by over polishing during service, or there but faint and not showing up in the photo.
