hi OF community, below watch belongs to me. It’s a beaten up Record dirty dozen. From all examples I’ve seen online, all variants from the dirty dozen range have the W.W.W And military arrow engraving on the case back. Mine doesn’t. Instead, it has some other engraving “G.A” and “811”. Would any one here know of any possible reasons for this? Could it be service case back? Many thanks in advance for any thoughts. P.s hands were relumed by James Hyman.
There are other examples... https://www.mwrforum.net/forums/showthread.php?33935-Record-with-GA-marking https://www.mwrforum.net/forums/showthread.php?57134-Interesting-fact-Record-GA https://www.mwrforum.net/forums/showthread.php?78617-Record-W-W-W-serial-number-data-base Yours (811) is a known example, see the list here. https://www.mwrforum.net/forums/sho...ords-for-future-reference&p=131991#post131991
Wow @w154 , thanks so much for the links. these are very helpful. interesting that these do not have a firmer history (no one seems to know the exact definition of G.A).
