Re: Help For the Newb - Autavia 2446c GMT MKIII

: 1. The case back looks like it has some hand carving in it. can
: anyone explain this for me?
: 2. What movement is this? I am not the expert that you all are.

Jeff,

I can't remember the number of the Valjoux movement in this GMT but the hand scratched inscription is a watchmaker's mark. Sometimes now they do this in with a marking pen but many case backs have several of these scratches from each service.
