Put on my Bulova A11 this morning but took this picture before putting it on. My Grandfathers type A2 flight jacket with the watch. Both date from approximately 1943 and he was likely issued a similar watch when issued the jacket. Jacket was worn while serving with the 13th US Army Air Force in the South Pacific.

Thank you. This one is super special and took me so long to find one, I feel the same way every time I look at it. Waiting for IWC Mark XI from 52 issued to RAF next week. Another grail I spent so much time looking.

If you need spares for the Mk 11 from 1952, we still have some parts left. PM best. Kind regards. Achim

Heuer 7753 issued to Belgian air force

Thumbs up. Wayyyyy up.

I don't wear this one often, but it's always a pleasure when I do. Eterna Majetek with the crossed swords at 11.
