Auction, is this a Milsub?
Seen this lovely 5513 in a auction catalogue this morning, I then realised, is it an actual Milsub but with service Mercedes hands and standard bezel?
It has the solid bar case for nato straps and military case back. It was owned by a local diver who lived in the Hampshire area where I believe most Milsubs were issued, he has other watches for sale at auction and it’s mentioned he was a Navy diver in one of those listings..
If it’s the real deal this watch will go crazy money!!

The guy who spent £400 on Omega parts a few months ago through eBay to then find in the lot he had several original Milsub bezels, he would be good to contact if you bought the watch, he was quoted over £40k for one bezel though!
