    Yep. The Pogue doesn't do it for me but that was very nice deal. Those pictures made it look worse than it probably is.

    Anyone collect old military style. I’m afraid I can’t work out how to post a Chrono24 link

    I got an unprovoked offer on this just for looking at it the other day

    Can’t help you but a comparatively inexpensive gamble.

    Wow, I guess I didn't scroll through to the last photo. The outside looks so clean and new. Looks like mildew. Perhaps a gasket turned to black dust and got spilled all over the inside. A service would be a must.

    Yeah, because of this, I did not expect the movement to be in that condition. Hopefully it is superficial so that after a service, this would look new inside and out.

    1969 Benrus military watch- 2 years ago I would have thought this guy was day-dreaming at $295 but it actually sounds fairly reasonable these days. Needs a crystal and probably a service but the lume is excellent which is uncommon on most of them. Make an offer- the asking isn’t actually bad considering the reissues go for this much lately.

    If corroded perhaps its a used replacement. The rest of the movement looks fine.

    What's with the numerals on the dial? The 10 and 8 seem to be correct, but the I is at the 2 position and the 4 position has III. Is this some strange numeral system I haven't heard of?

    The II is partially covered by the minute hand. And there are four sticks in the 4.
