    A cheap diver that I couldn't resist. (seller's photo). I really should stop buying these watches, but when I see an appealing watch in an auction flying under the radar, it's hard to resist throwing in a bid.

    Like the Jumbo best for looks but the Speed Timer has its own charms and possibly more utility.

    I take it the Jumbo is missing its rotating bezel?

    I had a Baylor with a bezel I didn't like. I removed it and promptly lost it. Looked much better without it and fit under my cuff better.

    This 70's BWC (Lemania 1340 loaded ) chunky monkey arrived in its well used state today. The red numbers are on the underside of the mineral crystal meaning I'll have to get polished and the case and bracelet brushed at the same time..... As it is currently running well Revision is going to have to wait a wee while till i free funds up. IMG_3418.jpg

    Found another Railroad Official Standard ref 135.005 w/ manual winding cal 600. SN is just a few away from a previous one acquired couple years back. These usually have four digit case number on the outside of the case back below the hippocampus. This one is a tad unusual and has case number between the lugs.

    Thank you for the appreciation

    I do not believe the 6138/3002 actually came with a Bezel…rotating or otherwise ?

    For a 42 year old watch…it is in ‘gob smacking’ condition & virtually NOS…with sharp edges, & perfectly differentiated facets that are either Matt or Polished

    here she is, latest addition, 1968 and needs some love. Also noticed the Hammer spring is not located correctly. Val 72-4 812 GMT, You know when I first joined the forum and posted my flightmaster, I stated I think something about not buying watches that need work, doesn't look like I have learned eh??, Buuut in my defence, I have wanted one of these for over 10 years, kind of like glacial progress, but I finally have one.
    Hey if anyone has any resource info on these I am keenly looking, sorry to pollute the forum with a Breitling.
