Rolex 1680 caseback

So I recently came across a Rolex 1680 case back engravings that didn’t match any variation that I have seen before.

Can anyone tell me if it’s maybe a it’s a service caseback or aftermarket?

Thanks.


These are the known variations I’ve seen before

Variation 1


Variation 2

Some letters look engraved, not stamped. fonts are different. I wouldn't say its genuine.

There is also a genuine type like your variation 1, but with a wider 'SWITZERLAND'

Could it be a service case back??

I just found another in the wild today.
Never seen these case backs before this week.
