16803 case on ebay---Gen or not?

Interesting! I wouldn't expect a 16803 to have an N serial #- c. 1991. The first 16610's came out in 1987-88 with an R serial #, and I know that at that time you could buy the 16800, 168000 or the 16610. By 1990, I would have expected production to switch over to the 16613, but maybe they were using old movements and cases.

The case looks good- I look at the position of the crown on the case- nice and high, and the set of the crystal- also nice and high. Bezel and insert look correct. The caseback, if it works doesn't really matter, sure it's incorrect.

I don't know if a 2836 would work in there, but the case might not be a bad deal if you could get it for a reasonable price.

What's reasonable? Maybe $500-1000.

I might bid on it if I can get him to accept a return if it's not gen. Sub cases are few and far between and a transitional is even more hard to come by. Only acceptable dial for this case would be a gen also. If I were to win this, it would be a long term project.
