These are the seller's photo's just bought this will post my own photo's later.I have a lot of american military watches so I thought I would stray from that and buy some from other countries and one thing is you have got to do your home work the first WWW watch I bought was at a mart was a CYMA the largest of the WWW's posted it at the MWR forum to find out it was a fake I called the seller and he did not cash the check I will give it back at the next meeting.I can post photo's of the fake if any one want's to know what to look for.It was a good one until you got the case open and saw a 17 jewel movement instead of the 15 jewel movement.And here is some good info for any one looking to buy a WWW watch.
