FS: Hamilton Pilots Chrono - Royal Navy Issued 1972

As much as I love owning this watch, I rarely wear it.. so I've decided that it's for the chop, and hopefully someone will do it justice by wearing it.

I've done a small write-up on it, but not yet published it on my blog, but here are the specs...
It's a Military Issued British Royal watch, with the correct markings showing it was issued in 1972.
Asymmetrical military design case, 39-40mm, manual wind val. 7733. Chrono works as it should, and keeping good time.
Fixed bars, with 20mm lugs.

I've left the original crystal on it, and very lightly polished it, it retains it's battle scars & scratches. Please note, any scratches you see are on the crystal, not on the dial. You could replace it or a heavy polish would take out most of the marks.

It's all original, lume doesn't glow much.

Price is £1200 or very nearest offer. Comes with the tan zulu-esk strap shown.

I wasn't sure of the value, but there is an identical one (1974) up for auction at Watches of Knightsbridge soon (advertised on Chrono24.com), with an estimate of £1000 - 1500 +20% fees.

Thanks
