This is an aftermarket modification undertaken by a Japanese Company called "The Real McCoys".
There may only be 50 or so but they are an aftermarket modification like 'Bamford'. However, nice looking watch, well done ![]()

That is true that The Real McCoys printed the dial and the case back. However, as Bamford does this watch is otherwise factory finished. Last one sold for over 20K

Ouch. I guess I should have had my SD caseback engraved and dial printed with Red October and then could have sold it as a 1 of 1 limited edition for $100k.

Have to agree Steve only a few fonts and engraving on case back could be classed as rare, the watch is not.

buddy of mine had one for a while. You need box and papers to get top $ and the old company (it was sold) does not provide from what I was told.
