Thanks much, yes, one exactly like this would be hard to find -- but wasn't @Vitezi's point was more to give the OP a general direction and flavor?

It hasn't occurred to me to pay for a certificate for mine actually, as I had no reason to doubt its overall assessment by very focused collectors on MWR when I found it. I was quite green and didn't exactly know despite searching for months what the unusual "staybrite" marking meant.
Could be an idea at some point though.

Silly question perhaps, how could a 6B/ 159 have been delivered outside of the UK?

PS - thanks @Vitezi for the kind words, by the way.

Not a silly question, my cousin received his Wings in Canada in 1941 and was issued with his watch at that time
flew on until 1945 and was shot down in his Huricane over Eindoven.

Just for the record @Bill Sohne and with all due respect, I was a bit surprised to have received no reply to my posting of pictures -- which took me a long time to locate and edit in reply to your request.
I must have spent at least an hour wading into my photobucket account and re-editing them so they could be posted.
Best regards
