Likewise but the Yugoslav version.

 

Like buses these things. None for ages and then 3 at the same time.

 

Dodane type 21.

 

Smiths 6B from 1968:

 

A '68 SmithS 6B is a rare thing isn't it? Usually '67 if I remember. There is a list of them on MWR too I think to try and assess how many were actually issued. Lovely thing, I am happy with my common W10...lol

 

Yes, most are '67s. I think the consensus on numbers for them over on MWR is:
1967: c.1,000 based on known serials
1968: c.250 based on known serials

I love these watches and my 6B is a definite keeper. Good, reliable, no-nonsense field watch!

 

As many as that? I thought the total was thought to be around 300, but I haven't looked at the stickie for a long time.

 

Yes, perhaps not as rare as one thinks, but you really don’t see them often. The Navy (0552) issued pieces are the real rare ones, of course.

And, let’s face it, you don’t see THAT many people wearing W10s out in the wild! A bit niche within the military watch world...wears yours in good health!

 

Finally, a nice day in Vancouver so playing around with the macro and CPL....

"Brothers from another mother"

 

very very very (did I say very ?) envious

Edit: nothing to compare but just noticed that my Aquastar shares the same type of hands than your wonderful Mk11



... a poor consolation that is

 

Aquastar big eye? Hardly a consolation.... !

 

Reissued alas, still a nice watch.

Back to military watches, poorman’s Mk11 (the best I can do here)

 

VB stock number dial

 

Don't see to many engraved US Navy veteran Trench watches from WW1

 

if we are posting group pics, I want to be part of it.

 

Is that a sterile dial Hamilton 6B? I don't think I have seen one of those before.

 

Yes, that’s the one and really cool.

 

Do you know of any others? It does look cool.

 

Because the 24h dial variant is missing here
