Andy,
I like the larger stainless steel cased watches. Manual or automatic, and any tuning fork movements. I also like the circa 60's-70's divers watches.

Same as Ray tuning fork and 60's-70's dive watches
with black dial wrist watches.
Andy 214 ,218 accutron if the price is right they do
not need to be running.But if running its better watch only one thing with accutron the battery goes the other way as you may know positive down negative up.

the Royal Navy ones are mostly marked with the broad arrow on the back (and sometimes on the dial) and often the designations H-1,H-2, and H-3 Wink civilian models are often unmarked ,and both type are mostly sweep second hand models , but not all as illustrated by the Dent deck watch in the picture. I lost 4 close family members on active service all lost through enemy action at sea,so I am deeply into anything Royal Navy Smile watches,clocks,naval daggers ,swords etc.
