This is a QC pic from last week so probably the newest batch all has this case back text.

Absolutely but I am about to receive an old version I bought from another forum member, that's why I am unsure about the case-back engraving.
Either way it won't be a big deal for me (replacing hands is more important if they have a weak greenish lume) but I am curious now

My lume looks fine in QC pics and I can’t tell any difference between the hands anyway so I’ll leave them. I’ll oil bracelet and rotor if noisy and call it a day.
Receive today, same caseback as yours.
Watch is powered by a 2836-2.
I can confirm hands lume is not terribly grrenish, I will probably keep it as it is.
Now I need to mod the click spring, bezel is not tight at all and I don't like it

Looks even worse without paint. Mine came off several years ago. I have Testors black enamel for it, but haven't got around to applying it yet.
Guys, have you ever seen a BPSD with polished HV?
I am working on the click spring and I already hate it. Need to order a Clark click spring....

Mine lost it’s paint too... and I like it. I’m building a vintage franken and a lot of old gen Sea-Dwellers have lost the paint too.

I grabbed one from WSO on eBay. Works much better than the oem rep spring.
------------------------------------------------
I probably won't apply the Testors either, mainly bought it to fill in the numbers on my EXPII that had come off.
You don't have to buy the click spring, you can actually adjust the angle of the bent part of the spring and the length of the bent part to achieve the tightness and sound of the click. It takes a lot of trial and error tho.

I used this method first before getting a WSO spring. The rep spring kept deforming back to its original state, and after replacing haven't had any more loose bezel issues.
