Incoming Mil Watch

Post by Nomadz » Sat Apr 02, 2016 10:16 pm

Ok not to everyone's taste .

This was issued in 2001 to SBS door kicker. Came direct from the SBS depot in Poole. It's seen a "little" action. Now it's retired in my watch case.

Runs well. It might tell some interesting tales.

Nice. :thumbsup:

If it were an issued Sub from years past, it'd be worth a zillion dollars to mil watch collectors in this condition.

Issued CWC are getting silly. Of 150 watches issued in this batch only 19 survived, no idea why :roll:

That's awesome! Love seeing a watch that has some character and history!

I just noticed the sticker is still on the caseback. :shock:

Damn that must be some strong adhesive. :lol:

Definitely to mine. Very cool. You're right, I bet it could tell some tales...

Congrats :thumbsup: Only thing I would do is replace the crystal or some watchmakers are good at buffing out the scratches and making the crystal look a whole lot better.

Wow, that's more than the "normal light scratches and case swirlies"... Not sure that crystal is still waterproof :)

Damn nice Nick. I am in the "put new glass on" it and wear it group.
Was that wrong? Should I not have done that?

That's cool. As others have said, I'd replace the crystal and gaskets and wear it. I have a new SBS coming, just shipped from the UK, and I look forward to breaking it in. They look better well used than new.
