Re: My early version also has fluted pushers
In Response To: Re: My early version also has fluted pushers ()

Hi Chris,
Yes, the recesses for the pushers on my watch appear to be the same as example B. The case back is a smooth dome "snap on" type with semi circles engraved at the edge closest to one set of lugs. I believe the semi-circles indicate where the case is to be "pried" for opening during a service by a watchmaker with the appropriate tool or jewelers "knife". Look closely with lots of light and a loupe or magnifying glass and I'll bet you'll see them on your case back, too.
Cheers,
Steve
