Yes, the engravings on the case backs are really different.
The AM doesn't have- as the TR 900, by the way- any case number, but a serial number.
The movement of the TR900 has some special features, like these " copper " wheels, for the amagnetic purposes ( I guess ).
As for how many AMs were made, I know only 4: The 38, the 57, the 103, and one with a scratched case back ( I can't read the number, but it is a real AM ).
I guess a few others are stll buried or hidden in private collections.
Best,
Nicolas.

There is much rarer than the TR 900.
Well, the TR 900 is quite hard to find, as it seems that many of the circa 1100 died; and that all those who pay a cult to this watch may evaluate their surviving number to around 100, 150? Thee Pakistani is much rarer, by far, as well as the AM. But the ...
