So that’s the one Very very nice! And super rare. Well done!

Oh yes, a pride to have found it some 10 years ago. [nt]

I noticed that most of this type of Pakistan Milspec has dark patina on the lume & hands.

Maybe the reason was the climate in Middle East is very humid!

Maybe, maybe. I only saw two of them, though. This one and another one. [nt]

I can understand why it's a treasure

Thanks for your kind words, my friend. Here is a picture of the case back, which explains why it is so special.

A real gem, indeed. Thanks for the kind words, Michael. [nt]

Do we know how many were originally made ? [nt]

By: Cpt Scarlet : July 17th, 2019-09:50

I heard 50. I also heard that only 12 survived through years. [nt]

By: amanico : July 17th, 2019-09:52

That’s good information...

By: Cpt Scarlet : July 17th, 2019-09:59

Now we can order a 50 piece “continuation” series from BP for members of our community, making up 100 pieces. Jaguar did a similar thing with the E Type lightweight.

Not specially from this one, but why not a milspec without date or... A Tornek Rayville? [nt]
