I have been on the hunt for a vintage titoni airmaster for a while now and I have my eye on one but I am questioning whether or not it is a Franken watch. My main concerns are the spacing on the dial is too large-it appears that the movement may be loose in the case. Secondly, the caseback does not appear to be a Titoni caseback. Is this a "unknown" reference or is this a fake/franken watch? I need to know pretty soon a I am the current highest bidder and I may cancel my bid. eBay link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/402565751132

I recently posted a Titoni Cosmo 22 here and I mentioned another Titoni I had, well here it is. A Titoni 'Seascoper VII' from around the early nineties. This is one of Titoni's less common lines compared to the 'Airmaster', 'Cosmo King' and Cosmo models. There are some older versions (this is a 'VII' after all) that look more like normal divers models. Well what exactly is a 'Seascoper'? Well the case back gives a hint... It's a submarine! Or at least sub-related! It's not overly large but the bezel is very chunky and it won't work if you're wearing a long sleeve shirt. This was my daily watch for a few years and it only got downgraded to an occasional watch when I accidentally hit something and the bezel came off. It reinstalled it but it didn't seem very secure and I was always worried I'd loose the bezel. Good luck finding a replacement! It has an ETA2836 inside, good enough workhorse but nothing spectacular! Anilv

Here is a old hand winding titoni (authenticity will be another topic for another time) right now however I am abit puzzled by the watch back. It does not seem like a typical snapback or screw back so I have no idea how to open it. Any ideas? Any help from you guys would be perfect!
