rkdk Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 Im really in to the look of this watch, and i remember one for sale on these forums some years ago (could have been on trc). When i do a serach and look around the military watch pages, the watch comes up as a franken/replica. Do any of you guys know the story about it? Did it ever exist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluebite Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 This model has never existed. Thanks to Antiquorum, it has acquired some kind of aura in the mil-watch community... Regards, Bluebite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StormTooper4 Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 They have been sold at auction for 20k+ and I've seen them on the Bay for anything from 2k to 8k. That's a lot of money for a Rep Its anybodies guess ST Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 I have never seen that watch in any Tudor or Rolex catalog, which tends to make me think it is a fantasy or 'creative' replica. But you can never say never with Rolex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
