Respectable Member Seamonster
I suspect the hands are newer than the watch, other than that all looks OK to me (based on sellers disclosure) but I'm not an expert yet!
The excellent condition could be attributed to being in a kitbag for years, away from sunlight, wear and weather.
The eBay provenance has a certain validity as many military personnel "lost" their watches, paid a pittance, and kept them for profit or sentimentality.
Personally I would be prepared to gamble on it if I was in the market for an ex-mil version, but I have my lovely Watchco.
Bear also in mind that I have consumed 1500 millilitres of Irish wisdom, so my judgement, while well intentioned, may need verification from those more educated in ex-mil 300s.
Respectably Yours
Jim
