Interesting problem. Are we open to the possibility that both the bezel and back could be over Sterling?

Pardon my ignorance: would a Guildite back be attracted to a magnet? Never tried it. I am familiar with the distinctive sterling “ring.”

I’ve had a very few transitional Gruen cases that were certainly misstamped for material at the factory.

Anyway, I do have one stamped “Sterling back” swcco made before Jack’s. A Courtney model, I think, if that helps. I can check my records to see if there’s a clear transition point to “gf bezel/Guildite back on sterling” from “gf bezel/sterling back.” Possibly Jack’s could be in that window.
