On a related note, a 1915 Marconi (Wilsdorf and Davis, pre-Rolex) trench watch:

It's just had a service and should be gleaming. I need to take some macro pics of last week's acquisition too, so will see what I can do tomorrow!

Oh my god, here's one of mine top subjects, and such nice pieces shown here already!
Al, your Vertex WWW is awesome! I've never seen those with non SS case.
Here's my Timor, also from the "dirty dozen" I think they call it.

I also love the Favre Leuba. I have several CS(I) issued watches including this Omega:

...many others That I can post, gradually...
Cheers!

It probably had a back like this, but mine was backless when saved from a scrapper.

As a teaser, here's a lo-res pick of the movement, having just been reassembled and cased by Stefan after the service:

Here is a 2922 RAF issue, without markings so likely issued to civilians as surplus:
C62364F7-C9FB-4C36-91EC-F1B87ED25156_zpsuuvf4kik.jpg

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

Have a few others, but not Omegas...🙁
Very, very nice.
My Omega RAF also unmarked and with a not so nice dial:

...and I think the correct reference is CK2292, not 2922, right?

What are the numbers on the case back of your Lemania? If they begin with a D red is correct IMO

Love those Czech pilot watches especially the Longines which is probably the only one of the 3 that can be traced back to WWII. Eterna and Lemania came pot war

Here's my Nite MX10, as issued to current UK SF. My usual beater, it's been a virtual daily wearer for the last 5 years or so (until my Speedy Pro arrives). I do have a CWC G10 that was issued to me when I joined the RAF a good few years ago - pics to follow when I find it.....

The number is 3660 and no D I'm afraid...🙁
