Authentication Notes

Case

HighHigh confidence

No Cyclops on the crystal

Vintage Sea-Dwellers omit the date Cyclops for pressure integrity; a Cyclops on a 1665 is incorrect.

Dial

CriticalProbable

Double Red vs Great White dial period

The two-line red 'Double Red Sea-Dweller' text belongs to earlier examples; later dials carry single-line white text. Repainted red text is a common fraud.
