D'oh...I missed your post. Apparently these "Burford" dials are a thing.

I would pass, those chamfers are overpolished.
I’m kidding So this is the real deal? I like the insert, case markings and the square crownguards. Very interesting watch. Did your friend sell it for a haul, or did he not understand what he had? |

Is that thing for real? MilSub with Explorer dial and serif 'T'? Case markings also very odd.
Calling Haywood... |

That one is thrashed enough that some tasteful laser welding wouldn't be such a bad thing.

I believe that this will be real, yes. One of two batches, my own being from the earlier one. Think I paid about £2,300 for mine just after the millennium which was then followed by some correspondence with Henry Hudson. They seem to have been in use at the same time as the A/6538s and are now much better recognised, certainly among those who specialise in them.
This one is in less than optimal condition, but it's probably had quite a life! Insta : haywood_milton_rolex

Now that's how a MilSub should look!! Maybe the case-back deflected a bullet!
Very cool watch, battle scars and all. |

That watch has one hell of a story to tell.
