··not the sharpest pencil in the ΩF drawerHad an ebay feed on this for years and this was the first which came along. Sold for EUR 2.140 which is not bad considering the condition I think. Link: https://www.ebay.nl/itm/314505416753?_trksid=p2471758.m4704

This is an extremely rare watch made by Karl Plepla, a former watchmaker for Tiffany & Co. in the 1920s. Mr. Plepla ventured out on his own after a stint with Gruen in the 1930s, and produced watches on order for the Armed Forces and under other contracts, in conjunction with Jardur . This watch, named the Flytimer, was designed for use in aviation, and came with white and black gloss-gilt dials, powered by Valjoux 71/72 movements in the 1940s.
