Nice score!!! Strange...The stamp "GUILDITE BACK" on your watch would suggest that your caseback is stainless steel. Yet you're stating it's a "rhodium plated sterling case back"
Is that right? That's why I am confused... so I am curious as to how you came to that conclusion. The Chicago 42 ad states "Guildite back"....
Star did make the 406 - 459 model casebacks in both Guildite and Sterling.
If your model caseback is indeed Guildite as it's stamped, then on your outside caseback it should have a Star stamp of the double headed eagle clutching laurels and "GRUEN BASE METAL".
If it is silver then your inside caseback should be stamped "STERLING BACK".
