I tried to choose it carefully. And it was a good opportunity to reveal a watch I have hidden for 10 years. ;)

My pleasure, Im6.

Great research job and thanks for sharing ! This is typically a purist's worry to understand the specs of specific models :) It is part of the pleasure, you learn so many important things.

That will be with great pleasure. Yes, it takes some time. There is almost no literature on this one.

I hope the answer is never found, Nicolas. The mystery . . .

Superb statement. I like that a lot. Thanks, Don Turo.

A very interesting and informative post indeed! Thank you!

Merci, Colin.

Great 300,000th post. So informative, like so many others. Cheers to you ami!

Aaah, you see, it finally came! ;)

And it took forever.

Hahaha! ;)

Is it 300k or 3M? I can't read all of the zeroes!

Who knows, who knows... ;) Merci, Michael.

Great job!

Do you remember the case number of your Bronze? Well, we'll see if I am able to discover where are the good twenty others. ;) Merci, Brian.

Love seeing all your research and the photos of so many amazing condition milspecs, thank you for putting this together! Of all watches I think the FF has some of the most fascinating history and mysteries worth discovering

How right you are! Thanks, Fastwong, mon ami.

Thank you Nico for a tremendous 300k post! Ça fait toujours plaisir! 🙂

Plaisir partagé! Merci, Oyster Case.

You picked a great one for #300K!

I do think so! ;)

Congrats Nico for.... all!

Aaah, my friend, they had civilian hands because at the exception of the 5 US Navy Protos I know, the others were not proto and came with a civilian dial and hands, and the AS 1700 instead of the AS 1361.

I was certain you would make this post special my friend and your report is yet again exemplary ! Congratulations on an unsurpassable milestone, thank you for such a detailed and informative piece of research and

Thank you for the kind words, my friend Will.

Bravo Nico, for this investigation

Oh yes, it was definitely a good one, the 3208. ;)

Thank you so much for your very valuable feedback on these Bronze, mon ami JL.

I have some other posts like this in reserve... ;)

Look forward to that dear Nicolas!! This is a wonderful source of information that you share here!! Muchas gracis amigo! Un abrazo! Abel

Next investigation, the Fifty Fathoms AM. ;)

That sounds very interesting!! Look forward to that post! Abrazos amigo mio! Abel

Still digging a bit the topic...

Ah, yes. I imagine that to make a post like this one is not an easy task and something which can take years to research. Well worth the waiting and very generous of you to share here.

And I don't have all my answers, too...

I feel that in the history of this wonderful watch several questions will remain unanswered but you are making a great job with the big quantities of questions collectors make you finally resolved with your research.

All together, we'll solve some mysteries.

Of course!!
