I just installed the spiralwinder display caseback on my hesalite 3861 speedy but noticed during install that there was no dust cover present under the stock caseback! Everything I've read about these says that that should be included on the hesalite models. I've never had any suspicion on the authenticity of my watch (purchased “new” but not from an AD), but this surprised me quite a bit. Has anybody seen this before? Should I be concerned?

The new 3861 does not use an anti-magnetic cover. It isn't needed with the modern materials used in master chronometer watches.

Really? Everything I’ve read about these says the hesalite 3861 has an iron dust cover under the solid case back. I do hope you’re right though.

I verified it on the extranet also, no cover. I can’t share images from the extranet.

Excellent! Thanks for looking into that! I guess I’m not missing anything! (Is the extranet their repair/parts platform?)
