Mil Spec SM300

This has popped up on eBay and I’m seriously thinking of pulling the trigger

But what’s making me hesitant is lack of extract and the case back marked 64

You really think a dealer with knowledge about watches would not get an archive to confirm it is a legit mil? I don't think so...
So I am pretty sure at least movement is not correct. Caseback can be engraved by pretty much everyone with the right equipment...

I would't buy.

Yeh that’s what I was thinking why hasn’t a dealer got a extract

That serial number would be nearer the mark for a W10 not a 0552, the case back marked -64 is odd, I would expect it to be without a year designation. Odd to sell it as a bag of bits with no extract when you are a dealer?

Old acquaintance... was auctioned by Bonhams in 2017... and did not sell. The S/N 22986300 by that time was not in the range and for a Mil SM300. So obviously someone bought a new movement... but did not do his homework. It's still not matching with a Royal Navy 0552, but as simonsaid with the Army W10 😁

Let’s see. It’s taken apart (if it was ever together in the first place). The dial doesn’t have a circled T AND the seller admits it has been relumed. Hands are a mess AND no clear shot of them.

$10,000.

Sounds like a bargain. 😉
