That explains the dial...

In Response To: Actually... ()

This is a James Bond watch after all, so the He relief valve must have been removed for use as a detonator.

That explains why 1 pic shows a Blue dial & the others have a black dial....

One pic IS pre-detonation ( Blue ) & the others are POST detonation.....

So there are 2 ways of looking at this...

1, It's not going to detonate again - It's safe, buy it.

2, It's not going to detonate again - it's useless, leave it.
