As I am sure everyone knows, the Marina Militare watches from China can be had on several websites for $50 to $60. I've opened several watches to clean fog from crystals and/or to replace batteries in quartz movements. This is the first watch I have opened that does not have a plastic movement holder.By the way, this is a Sea Gull 2430 automatic movement with a power reserve indicator and small seconds hand.Lots of blued screws and almost every surface has been machined or hand tooled.
