Mark,

Thanks for the reply, yep i had seen yours in some earlier posts while trying to research this model, mine is exactly the same but does'nt have the Argentine airforce markings on the caseback. What it does have is a plexi-crystal though and i'm sure 11630 cases were supposed to have mineral, i've tried to fit a mineral glass and new gasket but the seconds hand now fouls the crystal???. I'm wondering if the original crystal gasket has a higher internal step than the generic one i've used thus enabling the mineral crystal to sit higher in the case and avoid contact with the seconds hand???.

Anyone have any ideas??.......thanks Mark,

Regards,

James.
