if it has A/254/67 then its a fake without a shadow of a doubt, but there are numerous other numbers used by the far eastern fakers to lure us addicts into their web of lies. to be 100% sure you need some provenance as well as just buying the seller as no... 

Not true

Hi Graham your assumption on the inscription (printed over the hyppocampus ) is wrong. It depends on the date of the watch. Best wishes Franco

. literally speaking.. I have had a few attempts on the mil variants, but every time (so far) stopped the prices due to uncertainty or dubious sellers. I wish you good luck and will be looking forward to seeing your wunder (if you buy) Best Hans
