Fair play Andy that looks the business.

 

Loving the movement all seems to fit just right guess this is a 6497?

 

You are turning me to the dark side of own builds damn you....

Andy have you ever come across a Kriegsmarine watch (German U-Boat) as this was also issued to the Grupo Gamma divers?
