WORKING, RUNNING AND SEEMS TO KEEP TIME, ALTHOUGH WITH VINTAGE
WATCHES, WITH UNKNOWN SERVICE HISTORY, A SERVICE IS ALWAYS RECOMMENDED.
THE WATCH HOLDS THE CAL 586, SAME AS IN THE ALPINA KM KRIEGSMARINE 586,
THIS HOWEVER IS A POST WAR WATCH.
BUY THE WATCH AND WEAR IT, OR MAYBE YOU NEED A DONOR MECHANISM
FOR YOUR KM 586?........ AT ANY RATE, A GREAT WATCH.
THE KM 586 NORMALLY SELLS FOR ABOUT 300-500 GBP, SO HERE IS A CHANCE
FOR A STEAL.
