FS: Rare Droz Military Issued Diver, Breguet style dial

Hi folks,

On offer today, is a very rare Droz diver, issued by Royal Australian Navy, probably in the later 50s or very early 60s due to the radium presence (measured with a Geiger meter). This watch is interesting as it shared many similar feature to the rare vintage Breguet diver, like the dial and to the unsigned AS movement. I took a photo of the back of the dial but I forgot to upload it as it was on my iphone.

Watch is in great condition, with some battle scars on the case. The Super compressor case measures 40mm without crown. All parts original to the watch. Movement is unsigned AS 1580, and FYI, the Breguet version has also the same unsigned AS 1581 movement (for the date). Here is a great write up on the Breguet watch for those who are keen:

As this watch is really rare, I have no idea to the price. Hence I am open for reasonable offers.
