Fake 5517 on eBay

Just spotted this on eBay. At least the bezel insert is fake, it has too many minute markers. The rest highly dubious too.

Did they ever make a 'meters first' Milsub? I thought they were all 'feet first'...

Actually there were cases in which meters were written before feet...I am not an expert but one axample is ref. 1680 (circa 1969) in which the dial shows "200 m = 660 ft"
