Here is one I bought off of ebay awhile back and was debating whether or not to get the dial redone. It had the original radium numbered dial on it which had lost it's glow in the dark capabilites but other than that was not in bad condition. I opted to get it redone because I don't like taking the chance of exposure to dust coming off the radiaum and I wanted to see it glow again.

So I am wondering, would this have been something created for military purposes or just some sort of statement with the black dial?

Gold filled case is in very nice conditon. It has a snap on front bezel and hindged back and shows very little wear.

The movement is a 12 size 21 jewel Abe Lincoln, adjusted 5 positions. It runs great and appears to be quite clean.

Thanks Steve.

I don't believe the Military used size 12, I think it is a dress watch, I like that black dial.
