Looks reasonable to me. The "R" and "X" in the engraved rehaut line up as they should. You have the LEC. The part in the "6" right above the bottom circle, on the left side where the line connects looked a bit odd. Kind of like a kink or hump. But I just pulled my MKII out and sure enough, it looks the same way.

Thank you! Please let me know if I missed taking a pic of some part of the watch that might be helpful.

Thumps up. Even the spring bars look correct. I'd ask to see a photo of the movement if I were buying.

The same "hump" is in the 9 too, I noticed it only after taking macro pics. LEC is also very hard to be seen with a naked eye...

Very interesting that the 9 and 6 do that. Mine has the same, I never noticed it before. It's almost like the 9 is smiling and the 6 is frowning.

It seems that they are duplicates-they only make 1s and 2s for the twelve, 3s for the threes, and the one mold they use for both the sixes and nines.
