Why would you open the back? Were you worried about the authenticity?

BTW did you also remove the anti-magnetic case back that protects the movement or it wasn't there?

I did not do it, I had a watchmaker open it for me. Just needed to make sure it is all good, I don't that any time I buy used.

Yes there are 2 backs, One must be the anti-magnetic case back, but it does not say anything about that on there website.

Eric,
Was that at a AP AD? I wouldn't let any other watchmaker open any of my AP's without the right tools for it.

It should be opened and closed with a special made torque key for AP watches.
