Of note, it bears the same case as the BLANCPAIN FIFTY FATHOMS BUND MODEL, and similar to that of the Heuer and SINN models.

It is CLEARLY MARKED with distinguishing ARROW MARKINGS, FG DATES ETC but was also CONFIRMED by the actual man whom made the watch, LAURENT DODANE to the previous owner in the attached excerpt of a long communication with pictures of the case back and watch to verify without question of this INCREDIBLE FIND!

[URL=http://s1045.photobucket.com/user/grailspeedy1987/media/image.jpg2_zpskw6wfnyz.jpg.html][/URL]

Mr. DODANE (manufacturer) confirms: NUMBERED TO LESS THAN >300 pieces WORLD WIDE with Military Markings AS IS SPECIFIC TO THIS EXAMPLE.

The Laurent Dodane confirmation in hard copy with all specific data to this specific watch etc accompanies this watch to its new mantle position in the respective buyers home.

Here an excerpt of this historically significant confirmation.

This mil spec NOS piece comes in a white Laurent Dodane box, and outer cardboard slip cover.

It is on an uber rare and cost prohibitive ALASKA tropic strap made in France, ALASKA is known for vintage straps on ROLEX models. The strap is NOS, as well and believed to be COMBAT SPEC and original to watch.

This is a massive watch, as is typical for 1000M milspec watches and is absolutely GORGEOUS.

The pictures do not do this timepiece any justice, it has been unworn since produced for war; merely sat in collections and now available.

Not much more to be said on this piece that the manufacturer (Mr. DODANE) did not confirm.

In closing, this is a MODIFIED FOR WAR VERSION, in NOS CONDITION, with AUTHENTIC MILITARY ISSUE MARKINGS BY THE MANUFACTURER (and confirmed by the manufacturers themselves), of the rare 1000 meter/3000 feet dive watch on ORIGINAL STRAP and BOX - NUMBERED TO LESS THAN >300 pieces WORLD WIDE!

PRICE FOR THIS COLLECTOR's SET...

I am asking for: euro 5.500 shipped worldwide complimentary.

Item is in Karlsruhe, Germany - 130 Km from Frankfurt and 80 km from Stuttgart airports respectively.

All truly interested parties are more than welcome to visit my home and view in private.

World-wide references upon request, and I reserve the right to request same from Buyer.

As always, thank you Jeff, Chronocentric and all interested!
