    Two left of my WWW watches that I have decided to part with.
    Up for sale is my Buren Grand Prix WWW caliber 462. It has the fixed lugs intact, and the rest is in a very good and authentic condition.

    This is a fully issued British military watch made in 1945.
    For those interested in details you will find loads here: http://www.time514.com/BritishX.htm

    The movement had a full service (clean and lube) in 2015 by John Senior UK and is keeping excellent time.
    It will come on a new "vintage style" NATO leather strap similar to the one pictured.
    The watch is in Norway/Europe. EU shipment is available.

    Offers considered.

    Feel free to contact me by PM with any questions or more pictures!

    One extra piece of info on the watch:
    Hands are MoD replacements. Correct according to the ministry standard, but not the ones from Buren.
    A big thanks to @agee for pointing it out to me.:thumbsup:

    36.5mm. One of the bigger "Dirty D´s". Full detail on the dozen here: http://www.time514.com/BritishX.htm
    Only the Longines and Cyma are larger.

    For those interested there will also be one more listed shortly. A Timor. Same size as the Buren, but steel case.
    I could do a deal on the two together!
    Both Buren and Timor serviced by John Senior, and keeping time.
