£200k worth if it’s real.
I don’t like the dial insert or hands.
Photos are very strange, not sure what’s going on there.

When you look long into an abyss, the abyss looks long into you.........
With so many brands doing Milsub homages there’s no shortage of sword hands and 60 min bezel inserts to choose from for someone looking to make a buck. Is that 666/77 number in any known range?
The pictures are not great but that dial looks shocking - it looks like a bad reprint and not in the traditional issued watch MOD way.
It is a unisex watch though. Good to know!
What is the Italian expertise referred to in the text I wonder?
I read that as used by Italian Forces, not unknown for guys to swap kit when training together.Originally Posted by Speedy2254
This was just a bit of issued kit in those days, same a a set of flippers.
The odd, and not especially accurate, text has presumably been translated from Spanish.
The first two things I noticed from a quick glance at the photos is that (1) they've blocked out part of the NSN and left the issue number untouched - which I assume is an indication that they haven't really much clue as regards military watches - and (2) the tritium lume on this supposedly 46 year old dial doesn't appear to have changed colour in all that time.
Birth year too.

I found it suspicious that not only is the lume very white still, but they've blocked the hour hand. I mean, it could be unintentional that the pic was taken as the hands overlapped, but for a listing for such a watch you'd think they'd have been a bit more savvy.
Too few photos overall given the price tbh.

The dial pic looks like a Rolex cake.
