    ahhhh... a 1992 issued SBS, what a watch to practice on Simon!

    How about trying with a much more common post 2000 version next time :-) , I'd swap you a brand new one if you want!

    That would have the same case as the Blancpain, thicker than the modern Squales. The 1000m rating is a bit unusual, though thicker they were normally still rated to 500m.

    Lovely watch.

    That looks great, but the chance of restoration does not surprise me, those 300Ts were serious hunks of steel and thick screwed down glass crystals. It takes a lot to do anything more than cosmetic...

    What a bonus! To find out the bezel on my 1993 SBS is totally original as issued is great. I will treasure that watch even more.

    Terry,

    What I meant was 1993 was close to 1992, the bezel is the same as far as I can tell. Your assumptions are probably as good as anybody's. Here is my 1993 issued SBS.

    A clear replacement bezel I think but I've seen several genuine issued watches from around that period with exactly the same replacement, could it even be that it was a genuine MOD spare part? Or is...

    Robert,

    That looks like an bezel insert rather than an actual bezel. It will have nothing to attach to. Have a look at this one for the correct bezel

    Re: article on military divers's watches

    The IWC Ocean 2000 Bund was not the last watch specifically designed for military use as he states. The Precista 1993 dive watch certainly has that beaten and was not available to civilians.

    Precista/Smiths lug holes

    Does anyone ( presumably Eddie does ) know if the drilled lug holes on Eddie's watches have a standard size and if so what is it?

    Re: PRS18 a homage?

    If Pannerai's watches are not homages then this must also be classed the in the same way, not an homage, a modern re-edition.
