Is this a 15 jewel signed manual wind [movement] military watch from Cyma?
Size should be aroune 37mm, with British military [markings], with luminous hour markers & numerals, painted Arabic numerals with luminous dots at the hours, subsidiary seconds. Super rugged all stainless steel WWII British Military Cyma in an all stainless steel case, and was told built like a tank.

Just For information sake, there are fake CYMA military watches out there too. Some has the original dial face and hands but the movement (watch "engine") is a 17 jewels manual winding one. If one looks carefully the movement is machine-casted and was "rubbed" at the edge to sync in the case.

Just beware of this before purchase.
