....the French military keep a full record of the watches issued to the French Military...the MN. I wonder if the Canadians do the same? Would definitely be worth checking as that would provide uncontested provenance. Man...if i was a soldier and i had a ...
a nice dial/hands combo

Yes, this unusual dial/hands combo is very nice. Navyeight mentioned that the watch he lately purchased on VRF had not bracelet marks. Mine is mounted on a late folded flip lock band from the late eighties, so not original to the watch (1978). It has remi...
