    Too cool and thanks for sharing. Is there a story with the helmet or "just to awesome" not to buy? Nice touch with the yard as well' kinda sorta brings back some foggy memories, I think

    I sold one of these last year and regretted it almost immediately. Found a very nice one that was priced well recently and jumped on it. :D

    No doubt the big ass bong on the shelf above the helmet can be useful in treating the symptoms...

    This mornig arrived, a 2892-1SC with a caliber 284 no. 15136343 from around 1956. Equipped it with a Hirsch James strap, silver Omega buckle.

    New crown (clover) is already ordered. I'm going to present this watch in a few days a bit more detailed...

    Picked this up today from the original owner purchased new in 1983. A 145.022-78 with the original box, paperwork, and sales receipt. Time to get the Polywatch out and it should be good to go.

    I've never had one of these smaller (32 mm) American-made military watches, though I've always thought they were neat. This has the hacking cal. 10BNCH 17 jewel movement and dates from the Korean War-era. Seems to be in nicer condition than many I've seen.
