The watch is a superb example of an English duplex but the outer case doesn’t have the same hallmarks as the inner case. It is a perfect fit and was it not for the different hallmarks London 1812 and London 1830, you would think the outer was original. It is possible that it was made for the watch. Anyway if you can live with this discrepancy, it is a lovely watch
