I'm glad you like them. They are single swiss on the dial. Actually one is a no swiss (flooded watch) super rare.

 They are all working and I had Zaf from Classic watches do the work and he did a great job.  I tried to keep them as original as possible even reusing the old crystals.  My favor one has a nice mellow yellow crystal with great crazing.   Brian

As some of you remember I purchased five Bp Milspecs from the son of a US Navy Sailor. I posted photos of the first watch and promised to show more later. When I purchased the five Milspecs I was missing one dial. But after about 20 months I finally found...

They are all within 68 digits. Make me wonder if this might have been a batch that went to the navy. Brian

I had to sit down.... Are they signed double swiss ? The second swiss is only to be seen, when the dial is taken out. Are they all running? best regards Stephan

Polish Navy was also using Blancpain watches. But getting Five of them, that’s like dream story, unbelievable.
