It might be a watchco altogether. The serial dates to 66 and the case has a screw down crown which came later so it is either a WatchCo or everything, including the case, was replaced on this one.
Well, not necessarily. The tube could have easily been replaced to accommodate the screw down crown. From these minimal photos, the midcase and caseback look vintage to me. I suspect it was just updated with service parts.
I can’t comment about the serial and the fixed bars. Could these just be long shoulder-less springbars?
There will be someone bying this manierism watch with these lousy pictures.
Definitely fixed, I assumed it was navy issue and had all the elements marking it as MOD property removed. With no letter from archive available now it's not possible to even check the serial.
Did you see the watch in person? I mean how are you sure they are definitely fixed, it doesn't seem to state this on the listing.
Quite simple, I called them and asked.
Fair enough, it wasn't obvious from the page is all. In that case my earlier post about it being the real thing but changed out of all recognition is probably not far off the mark. It's lost any additional value it once had.
