: You are correct and yes, there is a way to find

: The font is really small, so you'd need a

: The 33xx series (chronograph) co-ax movements

: Hope that helps

Oh yes it does help. I guess my reading is totally incomplete. I wasn't even aware of problems with the Chronograph. I guess I'll avoid that.
I'll have to continue to research ( by asking you guys ... hahahah ), if there's also a way of telling the "C" on a non display caseback.

Also, is it true then that the "C" is bulletproof or is it way to early to even call that one yet.

Thanks again for the response.
