Hello Zaf,

It appears that this movement has a 94x,xxx serial number versus the typical 91x,xxx one. Have you ever seen an authentic JLC Mark 11 RAF (a RAAF 53 variant) with a 94x,xxx movement number?

To my (clearly) green eye, everything else checks out, but this seems fishy...

Thanks

correction -- the movement number is 640708 -- which is listed as #66 in the Tracking Table at: http://www.markeleven.com/

And there are other 64xxx numbers in the list.

from Production Sheet for this serial number:
9/17/49 --- #250 --- 640,604 to 640,853


The watch appears to have a

a) 3rd Generation "RAAF" or "Flat 3" dial:

b) but a "RAF" 6B/346 caseback

Might this imply components from multiple watches?
