183G- which case is correct?

[JoJo35]

I'd like to have a 183G built; however, find myself becomming more and more anal about getting it as correct as possible!

Ok, so here's the question: Is the "G" series case the only correct one for this watch? How about the "E" case? (does it really matter, the letters are so tiny!)

Thanks to all who might know alot more about this subject than myself and take the time to respond!

I think that the 183 started with G, then H and now I (gens).
The Gs had 'Blackseal' printed on the bottom of the dials and decorated mvmts. So Gs are more popular w/ collectors with only 1500 pieces made. The Hs and Is have 'Panerai' on the bottom of the dials w/o decorated mvmts. If I'm not wrong, all 3 series have the sandwich dials.

Thanks for responding! What I'm really interested in knowing is if the case printing would make a difference. I would guess the series numbers micro etched into the case would begin with whatever series watch it actually is, and that the Gen factory never mixed numbers up (heh heh, like GM use to do with their cars)
