Autavia 2446 found...questions

Hi, hoping the experts can help out. A good friend found this amongst his late father's stuff. Not having any interest with it, he offered it to me. Upon seeing it, I knew right away that there was something wrong with the bezel but I could be wrong. I'm guessing this is an early 2446 3rd execution with screw back case. I took it apart to show some pics for the experts to hopefully chime in with their inputs

Here it is with a GF Bracelet with HL endlinks. The dial does appear to be a 3rd execution

The clasp is marked "1 67"

Unlike my 2446C, the lugs are not marked 2446 at 12 . The only markings on the lugs at 6 o'clock are the numbers "89667"

Caseback pics

Engraved are the numbers "C 1298-2" what does this mean?

Finally, pics of the movement. It does state 72 R

What do you guys think? Any red flags? Hope to hear from the experts. Thanks in advance.
