My first stab at some gentle spa work to clean this up after finding it on eBay. I'm pretty happy. A little before and then my wrist shot

You hoser...you continue to rub my nose in stinky poo...that's the watch we were supposed to be issued in 1986 during AOCS. Please stop rubbing my nose in stinky poo. 😉

But seriously...nice watch (and original band)...I'm envious (obviously). 👍

so you're not bitter at all then...

I'll post a nice Hamilton made pocket watch then.... more stinky poo.

just to be mean.

you'll recognize the movement as a 992B with a bit of tuning/marketing added...

It's a much better picture for sure, without the flash, but it looked pretty bad before, that crap on the bezel isn't out of focus [emoji23][emoji23]

After 20 years of no-moles-in-my-garden, someone in the underworld told them to come by. I might throw my PO after them

Gallet Trench circa 1916..... Sterling silver case with .935 and standing bear hallmark.

Uncommon damasceening on a uncommon 17j 4 adj movement.



Love the screwed down chatons, whose genesis stem from pocket watch movements.

Loving this quartz watch (mirabile dictu).


I think Dan Henry nailed it on design and size on these model 1939 and 1947's. Neither too busy nor big.
