The ex-spook put his Breitling diver’s watch on the auction site in a bid to raise money because he lost his job with MI5 three years ago.
He is selling the specially commissioned time piece even though there are only a few hundred in circulation and they have never been displayed in public.
“This watch is a limited edition which could only be purchased by serving officers of MI5 British Security Service during their centenary. “The watch was commissioned to celebrate their 100th anniversary.“So far I have had good offers and considerable interest on eBay and I must admit, I will be very sorry to be losing the watch as I have little to remind me of my time with the service.”
When he first bought the watch he paid more than £1,000 for it and the bids had reached more than £3,500 so far. (more)
