Made is Germany by Fricker this is a first batch number confirmed by Eddie Platts of timefactors.
Looking for £310 shipped.
It's in excellent condition. Only scratch is on the acrylic insert and some tiny ones on the acrylic crystal. Only very small surface marks on the back of the case and a very very small ding on the side of the case.
Bezel has great feel to it. Solid. Keeps good time at +8spd on my wrist, YMMV of course.
Comes fully boxed, all papers and polish cloth and 3 nato straps. The vintage bond is the only one to be worn for more than a few days.
CSW nato in the first pic is not included.

The specs on this are amazing.
Info and specs from timefactors...
This is arguably the most popular military dive watch today and good examples are keenly sought and command a high price.
This edition bearing the Precista name has been faithfully manufactured to the original specification, improving on it where appropriate. The most significant improvement is the addition of an anti-magnetic movement cover, movement holder and soft iron dial giving the watch anti-magnetic resistance to 80,000 A/m (Amp metres), the same as modern day IWC and Sinn watches. This has increased the thickness of the watch by 3mm over the original.
Case
Solid stainless steel case with brushed steel sides, polished top and back. Unidirectional bezel with luminous numbers in the bezel insert sealed with hardened acrylic. Screw back and screw down crown; the crown assembly is identical to that employed in the "Dreadnought" and has been tested to 2000 metres. Domed acrylic crystal in keeping with the original design. The dial is soft iron anti-magnetic and the polished steel sword hands are filled with Super Luminova, as are the indices.
Each watch has its own unique serial number, which also identifies the date of manufacture, engraved on the case back.
Dimensions
40mm diameter across the bezel and 46.6mm to the tip of the signed crown. 47mm lug tip to lug tip and 14.3mm thick to the top of the domed crystal. Lug spacing is 20mm and the watch head without strap weighs 90 grammes.
Movement
ETA 25 jewel automatic, calibre 2824-2
