The band is stamped with British patent numbers dating it to the 1940’s, and while the leather is deteriorating, it adds significant horological value. The dial is a legitimate Ministry of Defense replacement, meaning it was damaged during deployment and was serviced by a military watchmaker before being sent back out to the field. The balance assembly on the included donor movement has an incabloc shock system while the original movement does not. While the rest of the parts are cross-compatible, this means a separate NOS replacement balance staff will be needed for repairs. The watch is sold as-is for parts or restoration
