The one documented in the Goldberger book. #7 , 10 were made in total for Italy WW2





There is some speculation that these were part of an order to the Italian Airforce.
But no one has found clear evidence as far as I am aware.

The theory is that It is highly unusual for an agent to order 6 or more watches of the exact
specification for anything other than military orders for an ultra expensive tool watch.
Watches 47mm in size is a ridiculously large wrist clock in 1940s.

The 3 known remaining watches are all sequential serial numbers delivered on the
same day to the same agent.

It was pretty traumatic yesterday took mrs walrus out shopping to get gifts for an upcoming trip. The traffic was horrendous it was worse than a concert. It was an upscale mall so they actually had some nice watch shops but the crowds made checking them out impossible.

I did see the the 1973 bulova jetstar re-release with the sweeping second hand at Macys but the life had been sucked out of me. I guess it’s a good sign seeing all the consumer activity but damn if it ain’t a concert or a play I can’t take crowds like that
