In Response To: Re: early 2447S ()

: welcome , great and rare watch.
: would you share start of the serial number? Polyback or not?
: cheers mich

Hi Mich - and thank you.

The back is a six-slot back rather than a poly. Paul G said "It is generally considered that the first caseback had the six slots and not the polygon which came later." So I've learned something else!

The serial is 537XXX, which Paul thinks dates it to '64.
