Thoughts on this Carrera reissue please

What do you guys think? genuine? movement looks like the one in Mr. Maddox's article, though there's some extra writing on it ("unadjusted").

The caseback markings are not quite like the ones I have seen photos of posted here. there's no " carrera re-edition.." words that some casebacks have and the serial has "N 0" before it instead of two letters. I guess there were different markings.

since I am here, let me ask some questions about the movement operations. the seconds don't hack I see, but when I accidentally moved the hands counter-clockwise, the seconds hand starting moving backward. Is this normal or can I injure the movement by doing this?
When winding the crown starts to move backwards after a while. Is this normal? should I stop winding at that point or should I continue until the end like with normal non-chrono handwinding movements that I am familiar with.
finally I just want to say that this is an incredibly good looking and comfortable watch. I always wanted a thin , small chronograph and this is just perfect.
