I do agree it will hit the price.
It’s the logo that’s the issue, that said it’s not unknown for the MOD watchmakers to use parts at hand. - that would be my guess at explaining the mis match, plus we don’t know for sure when CWC changed the Logo, the chronographs had the oval in 82 so this could well the last of the 81s (it has an 81 style dial and hands - bar the logo)
The same seller has an 83 quartz for sale that is in a well loved condition.

Every now and again at auction, they are all with collectors (some have more than 1) I have never known one at a dealers.
There were only about 100 CWC divers produced and issued in 1980 and another 100 in 81
Common they ain’t!

This article covers the possible 82 dial very briefly.

I'm tempted
Oh yes .... me too. It's the same seller that sold the other one for 1350 a few weeks back.
Bit confused so which lume this one has though.
Just sold in the last 10 mins or so - anyone on here.
I came close, but I bought an 82 Fat Boy the other day and would rather hold fire in case any other decent early stuff turns up.
Thanks for the heads up and yes it was me who pulled the trigger... now I just have to figure out a way to get it across the channel :)
