    condition mainly the close up shots did not look to bad .. but the case seems a lot more wear to it the minute hand has rust on it that never saw it in the pic the hands as in the second and minute I believe should be the same colour ( but have seen them mixed thou ) just does not look as good as I remember would check it against the bay listing but all the close up pic's have been deleted so there is only one left when you can't really see the watch clearly

    the movement not sure on it should have the early 2609hn movement which it does on the third cog but was expecting it on the bridge instead so hmm yes just not sure on it

    Still not nice if the seller has been dishonest with the listing pictures

    just not sure if I could have seen the pics I might have missed it and so be it.. but to delete all the pics but the one seems off to me .. as a preemptive strike to say prove it ...

    at one time I use to save the pics from listing till I had them and was happy but this time as they was decent clear pics did not see a point of saving them as thought you could not delete them but seem he load the one to the site the others was through a image hosting so if you delete them from the image host then they go from the listing too apparently ..

    so just feels off but nothing I can do about it just goes in the bad seller file I keep so that I don't buy from them again .... have a good seller file too

    MWC PART 7 - MANIC WRISTWATCH CO-FORMULATION

    I've not worn the eaglemoss Australian special diver for ages even though it's one of my favourites. The bracelet it came on was a little bit rattley so I ordered a new bracelet for it ages ago.
    When it arrived though I couldn't get it to fit with straight springbars so it went in the drawer.
    Well tonight I had to fetch my tools in for a little repair job on somebody's watch at work so I thought I'd fetch the Aussie and bracelet in and have a go at trying to curve some springbars and see if I could make the bracelet fit..........



    I'm well chuffed with the result


    Have a great day
