    Hello Jason, actually this is not an issued watch (or even the un-issued brother of one) as Orsa watches are not issued TTBOMK.

    These Orsas have been flooding the low-end mil-style market lately. Given that they have 0- or 1-jewel cheap movements, it is a rip-off still, I'd say.

    The desription on eBay is deceptive.

    I am not sure .. seeing the prices some of the fakes and pseudo-mil watches make on eBay, I have long held the view that eBay is a major social science experiment to fathom the credulity of the population at large ... in the end, as John (abraxas) once pointed out, people buy visions/dreams/images, not watches ... :wink:

    At least this one doesn't claim a SBS/SAS/DELTA FORCE/SEAL Origin or source... Ebay is good if you know what you are doing... But there is always the chance of buying a misdescribed badly photographed piece of junk!!!

    Yes Crusader... Quite right!!!

    Sorry I didn't read the header title any further than thinking Militaty= Geez can't even spell Military... then I looked at the description and of course then I couldn't see any reference to the SBS!!

    Nice to see the bezel doesn't line up!

    Doesn't inspire confidence?

    Cheers,

    Tim.
