So the Dallas watch show was today and is tomorrow. Scored a nice ultrasonic cleaner, btw. Anyway, I came across an Illinois that I have never seen or heard of before. The dealer said it was WWII issue to the Army. I did a quick search and found no such information. Curious if anyone here has. Attached is my only pic. The watch was quite heavy. Asking price was $3500.

Illinois was bought by Hamilton in 1927. By WWII all production of Illinois watches had ceased, so this is a fantasy watch.
