    Thanks for sharing! I don't feel like they get discussed much here, I have been on the hunt for a nice example for a few months now. Let me know if you decide to let one of those go :)

    The watch measures about 35mm across and has the 30T2 movement.

    RedP, they are plentiful, there for the taking, albeit fakes, redials, bastards and the like do find their way as weell to the market. There was one just sold on MWR, relumed handset but otherwise nice. It shouldnt take much effort to find a reasonable one for reasoanble $.
    Now if you want some of the other dirty dozen- Grana, IWC- it's gonna cost ya....
    Good luck!

    Interestingly, the Grana got me into watch collecting. Picked one up at a junk store and it sold on ebay for a ton of money (at least it seemed like it 15 years ago). For the longest time, I couldn't figure out why. Wish I had it back. I drool over the dirty dozen. I only have a Buren now. I'm not one for paying full retail to load a collection, would rather look for bargain treasures. Love vintage military time pieces!

    The inscription w.w.w. on the back is original or has been added later?

    Aussie WWW omega content too. These were part of the 25,000 UK order, but with different backs.

    Canadian Content. Birks jewellers recased the Eterna Cal520 movement into these finely finished pieces, thinner case and decorative lugs.

    Super collection! Those are very hard to assemble, particularly with such good examples.

    Yes, it took couple of years of dedicated searching. I've upgraded a few and have secured matching lugs on three of the four models that are numbered. The Aussie and Canadian versions were 'icing' on the cake.
