Sorry, K, my text didn't appear . . .
. . . due to technical difficulties. Bill is working on the issue right now (at 10:48 pm on a Saturday night!), and hopes to have it cleared up soon.

Sternzeit is a good start ...
.... I just got myself one recently to add to my "normal" Heuer Bund and to my 3H Heuer Bund.
But what I think is a true military killer again, even though admittingly no chrono, is the IWC Bund AMAG. The story around this one and rhe fact that only 50 of these are confirmed to have ever been produced is a cool thing.
Very cool piece!
Got a family shot of your 1550/1551s? That would be amazing!
As for the IWC - not a chrono but very intriguing. What does AMAG stand for in this context?
Thanks again!

Heuer Bund family shot still needs to be taken; AMAG on the IWC stands for.........
......a-magnetic and if you "google" something like "IWC Bund AMAG" you will find lots of literature about this. In short: the entire watch including movement only contains a-magnetic materials i.e. materials that are totally non receptive to magentism. I think it was the first movement ever made to be totally a-magnetic.
A lot of effort for 50 pieces...
Hope IWC managed to reuse the technology elsewhere
Quite interesting, though - with the beauty definitely not being only skin deep on this one. You seem to have quite the Bund collection

The AMAG is a quite of sea snake, indeed. Wow, impressed to know that you own one. Bravo. [nt]

Having all three Heuer Bunds is already impressive...
Speaking of which, there has been an Israeli Air Force and Yugoslav Air Force version of the 1550, too. Not sure if they were in any way marked, though.
No, no, wrong entry, but I can add another Bund as a bonus, but I admit...
....again, no chrono, shame on me
two actually, I thought: you never know...... ;-) [nt]
...IWC Bund AMAG that is.

OK, now I'm really transiting from thoroughly impressed to mildly jealous
