1530 Case Engraving Question

[phunky_monkey]

Hey team!

Have a question RE 1530's and was hoping someone might be able to share their knowledge.

I've got two, one a late 5.01X serial, and the other this very early 4.05X. The serial and other info on the lugs is different, which isn't unusual from my research as they did seem to vary through the years. The 5.01 seems correct for that year, but was wondering if anyone could shed any light as to whether they think this looks correct?

All other parts of the watch seem correct, from the case back, dial and 96660 bracelet. Just unsure on the stamping. Any help from those with experience with 1530's would be appreciated. Have looked through lots of photos and any topics I could find, but couldn't find anything on this specifically.

Cheers!

Dane

Looks good to me. Love the 1530, send me a PM if you decide to part with one of them!

Thanks mate! I absolutely adore them too, was chasing one for years before I managed to get my first in a condition I was happy with.

It's actually why I'm asking the question. A mate of mine wants me to sell one to him, and I wanted to do my due diligence before parting with one. I think I'll keep this example, and sell the other. Still hard to part with...but seems selfish to keep 2 when a mate wants one quite badly!
