Military Collections

Hello TZ-UK, long time no see.

I do not focus on military watches but like to wear them occasionally

I think you need to focus on donating the one on the left to a worthy cause…ME!
Very nice!

Where an earth did you find the white dial? I thought it a myth!?!?

Is one of your flat 3's an Aussie?

As usual, you excel far beyond us mere mortals

Hi Alphafloor,

Thanks again for your compliment and definitely not for show off of this collection while want to share the joy here as I don't expect that I can have the Smiths Deluxe SS4 in my collection.

The white dial MK XI is really a myth as I saw two samples with exact identical dial layout and both carry correct JLC 488 Movements.

I don't restore this watch back to correct JLC MK XI spec until I am 100% confirmed that it is not a variant or simply the watch has this LeCoultre dial due to correct dial stock run out.

The flat 3 are Aussie spec.

Best regards,

hans

That's a great collection, bit of everything for every taste. The Cwc is my favourite, no fuss mil watch at its best.
