A few additional pictures of the " Bronze " Milspec.
An intriguing " bronze " case, which is a tad larger than the " normal " Milspec, on which we'll come back in a more detailed way, but for the moment, here are some pictures of this marvellous Vintage Fifty Fathoms:
It has been said that these big cases have been used by the US Navy...
We'll see if it is a serious statement or not, soon.

Well in any event it is a very nice case.
Can only add to the charm if this type of case was used by the US Navy, but won't really change my appreciation of this watch or its cousins.
Best regards,
George
It looks bigger than any other Milspec. Strange, and charming.

They are hard to find, I mean the correct ones...
But once you started... You are done.
Still looking for 3 or 4 of them, and then I will close this thema.
This bronze case is one of them.
You see? Al amost never ending story.
Best, my friend, and good luck!
Nicolas
Truly fantastic pictures! The dial is absolutely A1 perfect...
I love it, and if there is some extra US Navy history, then that just adds to it's rarity!
Cheers Tony
Aaah, I was almost waiting for you, Tony. :)
This is really something very interesting with these bronze Milspecs...
You will soon see.
Best,
Nicolas

No regrets, my friend? You had one of the nicest Civilian Milspec...
Which is now in another friend's hands...
Promised, next time you come, I will give you some severe treatment.
Un abrazo.
Nicolas
I regret it every day...
But the financial moments are really hard.
I have several problems to keep any watch since some time ago.
Mi unico consuelo es recordar cuantas grandes piezas he tenido, admirado, respetado y disfrutado.
My Milspec in a friend´s hand???. I remember that the Milspec go to UK.... Las vueltas que dá el mundo, hermano!
If it´s now in a friend´s hand, God is great!

Its a small world Emilo. Especially for the Fathomists!!..
I was in the UK at the time, but now I'm working in France!!
Still loving the watch - it has the pride of place in my collection
cheers Tony
