@Alpha, nice to see a working one, any suggestions of where to get mine fixed? I'm based in London

I'll scout around and see what I can find. 馃憤

New arrival on the wrist this afternoon.
Etanche 83 housing a Cupillard 233. Possibly French Military, impounded and subsequently released to the German forces early 1940's



Should add almost certainly wrong hands.

An absolutely beautiful little Smiths W10 courtesy of @LarryG .
Your Smiths W10 is very nice 馃榾 I got an offer to buy one and as it is the last mechanical issued watch made in England I could not resist buying it. I love the dial, it is so cool with "MADE IN ENGLAND" between 5 and 7 o'clock 馃榾 Here is a picture of mine, it has not been delivered yet as the seller just got the NOS hands that will replace the ones showed in the picture. Hopefully I soon can do a post with the watch on my wrist 馃榾

@Darlinboy Beautiful watch, although I'm surprised you were able to take that new Breguet off your wrist.

They all get a turn! 馃憤

Heres a thin-font GG-W-113 circa 1987 on the original strap...

Don't know as this really counts, as it's designed for cockpit mounting. So a little hard to wear.
They were used in the Fairy Swordfish, a biplane torpedo bomber. The history of these pieces blows me away.

@Hans the Wolf look forward to seeing the wrist shots when it arrives. What type of strap will be going on?
