    A Waltham A-13A, keeps fantastic time and adds a nice contrast to a super modern m/home.
    When I decided to move away from the military side this was one piece that I couldn't let go.

    Here is a 2922 RAF issue, without markings so likely issued to civilians as surplus:

    And this little guy was produced during the war, and may have seen service in India

    Very nice watches all!

    I'm developing an appreciation for the military versions of several brands, including Omega.

    Real tool watches.

    A couple of years ago, there was no way you could catch me with a vintage watch, especially one smaller than 40mm. Now, this is one of my favorites:

    Back from the heady days when you could pop in to Babcock Disposals at Rosyth Naval Dockyard. Always a good selection right the way through to chronos at £75 :rolleyes: Unfortunately in these days all I wanted was a watch to wear to work so the cheapest they had would do and once I had trashed it and binned it back for another.
    This one survived :thumbsup:
