6645 is the code for a wristwatch and there isn't an 86 code listed for any country (UK is 99) so I'd call fake.

Agreed I even googled it just in case
Seems strange to go so far but cock that bit up!

I've sold this as a joblot for nothing and buyers opened return case
there been some other good examples but he is angry and looks he think I made a hallmark of it by myself lol

From a batch of fake fatboys that have occasionally been popping up on eb for as long as I can remember.

I don’t understand?

>bwest76

I've sold some military parts 8 backs and 2 cases for nearly nothing
Buyer realised one back was not genuine and decide to send back whole lot

Personally I don't think it's necessarily a fake. I don't know much at all about nato stock numbers but the prefix 0552 is obviously R.N. It is possible the matelots have a different code for military kit issued from places with bases such as Gibraltar etc or commonwealth countries with naval facilities. I cannot see a fraudster making a balls up like that with 86 on a caseback. It ain't gonna be some scammer in Nairobi or Kowloon.
The simplest solution may be to write to Silvermans who may possibly have records from Cabot Watch Company before they bought the company.

Fake all day long. Unless we have 86 as a NATO country .

Who is saying it's a "NATO" member? Have a read and inwardly digest before presenting as "case closed" ..Red cap eh..
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NATO_Stock_Number

The easiest way to tell if that # is 100% fake, have any have ever turned up on Milsubs for example on ebay. We know where all Milsubs were issued from and most were O552 (RN clearance diver issue) or many more 0555 5517 (RM Poole SBS issue) Why would some scammer invent a credible fake ( with good stamped fonts) for a £70 G10 piece of quartz crap with a dodgy number? That's the real question.

Buyer beware is probably better advice. I've noticed two fake back series.

<- 0552/6644-86
4312***
479
81

9 recorded so far

and;

<- 0552/6645-89
5415***
586
82

5 recorded so far
