I should really post on the Military watch Forum but I’ll start here and see how it goes. It’s a pretty rare piece in this all original condition. Fully serviced by Guy Jeffery (£325 receipt provided) and ready for another 49 years of use. This watch was purchased in October 1976 by a Royal Navy Diver. He was based at HMS Vernon in Portsmouth and was worn by him as a special piece rather than an everydayer. A picture of him wearing it in Uniform on his wedding day is provided dated May 1978. He wore it on a barbed wire bracelet which shall also be be sold with the watch. A little bundle of original Royal Navy documents for diver training are also provided which were original to him.
This was the best example that I could find in the UK as I didn’t want to start rebuilding one so to speak so I just splashed out on the best. The dial ,hands , bezel, crown are all original and haven’t suffered like many from water ingress which makes the lume on the dial and hands turn black. All features work as they should including the locking crown /date .The crystal (glass) has some minor grazing but is original. The case has some marks on it too but hasn’t been refinished. It’s starts up with a gentle shake as it should and keeps good time.
Not really much more to say , but please feel free to drop me a PM or telephone call for more pics etc. FYI this is a vintage watch , don’t expect COSC time keeping or wear it in water.
Asking price is - £2200 and will include RMSD or meet in Bristol for F2F .
This is a UK only sale .
Here is a link to more info on these pieces too -

it was actually made in May 1976 at Seiko so a great 50th for somebody.
