Thans all for the feedback
1. No refernce number may not be a big issue but I would be more comfortable- not a deal breaker,
2. If case has been polished inside stamps should not be affected.
3. I do not think it is a fake but possibly the case back was remade if over polished in the past ( rest of case is not over polished). The "soft " stamping is a concern but I am not sure

Thanks again for all your input
I will keep you informed
