: Jurgen,
: Could you please post a picture of the caseback?

There are NO numbers on the watch..
not mil markings and neither reference nor serial between the lugs.

Caliber / dial / case / movement are all EXACTLY the same as the 72. Reference 73363 Military
except there's no IDF numbering on the back, and smooth crown and pushers. Brushing of the case: top surface brushing follows the contours.. the thin edge is polished, the sides is vertically brushed and it's looks CRISP.

The correct valjoux 7733 is inside, but the heuer leonidas sa on the bridge is up side down, correct spelling and font but engraved, not stamped.

still not convinced, if they did so much effort why not mount a more "fitting" pair of hands?
