This watch is an original P6506 in military spec the final image shows the civilian equivalent model which is fairly common but this military specification watch is now very rare, below is a full description of this particular watch and the issues which it has (or is reported to have because in many cases the watches do not have significant issues, below that is the full information relating to this model from the factory website which gives full details of all of the dimensions, specification and other information relating to the watch.

We buy these watches from various defence auctions and other disposal sales and it's frequently the case that we find that there is actually nothing wrong with the watch but it has to be assumed it will have some form of fault though in most cases it's very minor or as described below. These watches are disposed of at low-cost because we find that one of the problems is pressure of time for our service staff in the UK and elsewhere and in most cases they have given them a quick check over and nothing is immediately apparent though we have to assume that there is either no real fault with the watch or something will reveal itself over time in which case it’s normally a simple case of a service, repair or battery exchange depending on the exact model

Model: P6506

Condition: Excellent and can be seen in the images of the actual watch

Fault: The watch is not running but as it's over 18 years old it could well be just a question of a battery replacement. Even in a worst case scenario the movement is a freely available Ronda 715 we have in stock or could be sourced cheaply from any watch parts supplier or on eBay.
