It appears that the slight alignment of my collection has created a little interest, thank you @CanberraOmega Well I am in a position to share a couple of the ingredients. #1 A one owner 145.022-71 complete. Thanks to @KRLYUZH I won't say you won't find one more complete but this is pretty good #2 And a new 359715 Apollo 11 limited to about 150. I know it is a new watch in the vintage section but it is 17 years old and never been worn Thanks to @Kringkily, just amazing and the pics don't do it justice. Don't know if you will see this in WRUW More to come soon of the final brew
The first one is another original purchase from an Army & Air Force Exchange Services - does the receipt show the name of the base or post? ... just curious.
I love seeing the original price at $116. I wonder what that would have bought you in 1972. Oops. have just seen the $200 receipt as well, so I presume $116 was the band and $200 the watch??
Hi alam, I was wondering about that, the top of the cash register receipt is too faded to read the name but I googled WOB exchange and after a short search came up with this: Woodbridge RAF Airport (WOB) Suttonheath, United Kingdom (GB) Think I will get a certificate from the archives. Cheers
Amazing. You'll probably find it was sent to US Air Force. There was a large fighter squadron presence there during the cold war, so the watch was probably bought from the USAF Exchange during the closing era of USAF activities.
