Some don't Bernie, IIRC many f300s don't and I've seen a few autos without them as well (but still the correct case back). I like the Connie case backs with the observatory, a bit different (in a very good way).

I know mate , in fact I know some people have actually thought these watches wasn't right , because the observatory tower was not present on the back . So I fully understand why you asked :thumbup:

My trusty Breitling Top Time back on the wrist after an essential visit to Watchguy, where it had a clean, service, re-lume, new mainspring and crystal. Nice to have it back and keeping brilliant time. Photo of my Valjoux 7730 courtesy of Watchguy following service.
