Well, to be fair, he did elaborate on his hypothesis through PMs. However, like the last time around with a different proponent of the Military story, I did not find there to be any compelling evidence. This was a part of my response:
So, to review:
- in spite of their being high interest among collectors in the S.58, and correspondingly high values, not a
single documented military version, which of course would have even higher value, has appeared on the market
- not a
single example has appeared online in a photograph
- not a
single example of a testimonial from a member of the military has appeared online
- Zenith has never confirmed such a connection, and has likely denied it (to Hurley)
I cannot say with 100% certainty that there wasn't a batch of watches sent to South America ostensibly for military use. But given the above points, the onus is entirely on [anyone arguing otherwise] to provide evidence to support the claim.
