Nowhere is a mention, that this EPSA cased watch is an issued RAN watch.
Point Taken. Description changed. I guess, that happens when I assume, that every reader has the same knowledge, like i have about certain Military Issued Watches..... And English is not my first language. What i would really wish for is that the use of " FAKE " would be used sparingly and not for everything, somebody does not know. Even the use of " Franken " ( which is a nice geographical part of Germany with many small and excellent Breweries ) or " Frankenstein " is often used in the Watch World to disguise Non Knowledge or the lack of Research .
On the contrary , the initial ebay listing purports to be a "issued to the Royal Australian Navy " which is never was . Furthermore, the constant alluding to PH ( mik watchnaker) would prob have him turning in his grave .
Nothing to do with a lack of peoples military knowledge oe what is a frankenstein or a fake .
. It's up to the seller to list is accurately , ie "a parts watch made up of a later technos epsa cushion case compressor fitted with an earlier Droz dial possibly military issued."
Happy to provide you previous examples as this is not a one off . Its just the first to be called out by someone who may know a thing or two about relatively obscure Aust issued Military watches . Mark
