Thanks to all who provided invaluable guidance and information and support. And for the rest of you, this is what just arrived today after a tortured journey, customs scare, long negotiation, and the long wait. I think it is worth all of that. AMI issued, just needs a new strap. Will try to post more later.
Super watch! Love the look of these, and the military provenance & history makes them even more special. One I'd love to add some time.
Thanks for all of the input. For the first time in a while, nothing on my hit list at the moment (at least nothing that is within a realistic budget). If I sell a few pieces maybe that will change. In any event, I will try to take some more pics of this beauty and post them soon. It will probably be on my wrist for a while.
