FS: Rare J.BIANCHI – ARMEE DE TERRE French military year 1994

Hi, due large collection reduction for sale a very rare J.BIANCHI Armee de Terre, military assigned to recon/assault divers corp of France. Automatic, quickset date function, hacking.
This is one of 1000 (or 2000, it is controversial) wristwatches assembled by J. Bianchi in Marseille (France) issued to Armee de Terre - plongeurs d'intervention offensive for few time only, between 1993 and 1994.
Automatic, ETA 2824 with hacking, quickset date. Keeps good time and good power reserve, although I don't know anything about service history.
The case is stainless steel, without bumps, dings, shows signs of age and use (see pictures). Diameter is 40 mm, thickness 18mm. Waterproof is declared 300 meters (although NOT TESTED BY ME!!!)
Back cover is stainless steel with Month/Year (November 1994), the serial number 220 and two stars of CE.TE.HOR. (CEntre TEchnique de l'industrie HORlogere) engravings.
Mineral glass is perfect.
The crown is screwdown.
Dial is original, wonderful, without any sign, any faded, any humidity trace.
Bezel is original, in perfect state, with unique sawtooth shape, rotates smoothly with 60 clicks.

This wristwatch is in amazing condition, functioning perfectly, keeps good time, regular power reserve, quickset date works as should. I don't know anything about its water proof, I never use in swimming pool or taking a bath or shower, so I don't encourage to take a bath or swim with it unless a proper test.
I am a collector, not a commercial seller, so I cannot give any guarantee except as described.
Please look carefully pictures. Wristwatch as far as I know is fully functional and keeps good time. It is a wristwatch of more of 20 years ago.

For this very rare J.BIANCHI I ask 2000€ (paypal add +5%, or bank transfer) plus shipping with DHL.
