I was under the impression that the 66B handwind movements were 60s. I just worked on one that I'd dated at '65 based on the caseback. However, I just picked one up and it's got this caseback:  Are we talking 1963? 1973? That looks like a '73-style caseback but were they making the 66B handwinds that late? |

Were this 1963 it would read "water proof". Thus 1973.
