Please can you tell me something about the differences between these two watches
Caseback engraving is different and appearance of lume is also different but afai can tell from caseback markings same production year etc.
Any info gratefully recieved. Many thanks. Davehttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...5030f8d065.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...df67c29c83.jpg

W10 is British Army issue prefix. 0552 is Royal Navy I think
I think one on the left is from 2006 and the one on the right is from 1989.
Cheers, I was getting mixed up and thought the 99 on each signified the year of production. That would explain alot.Quote:

Is the 89 fatter than the 06?
These progressed from fat, mid-fat to thin, but I can’t remember the years.

As you do it, listen to strap crying, knowing that it will never be fitted to another watch, ever again. If it can't make it on a G10, it can't make it anywhere.Quote:

This may be of interest.
99 is the NATO code number for the UK.Quote:

Both of these are the same thickness. I've never had a fatty.Quote:

My understanding is that the mid-case continued until 1987 when the current slim case was introduced.Quote:

I admit, I don’t see many 85-88 CWC’s coming up for sale that often so that probably explains my own reasoning
