OMG, this is - to the best of my recollection from 40+ years ago - the exact watch that my father handed down to me after he retired from the Royal Air Force in the mid '60s. He was a navigator in Coastal Command, running long boring patrols out over the Irish sea, and relied on a chronograph for his dead-reckoning navigation - which is probably why he was issued one of these instead of the standard RAF issue at the time. Unfortunately it stopped working several years later, and in the folly of youth I tossed it out in favor of a shiny new digital watch. I still kick myself to this day. Unfortunately it's out of the question for me at this time, but good luck with the sale!
