Bill, I think they must have just liked the colors at the time for each model. who knows.

It was a GMT watch see the 24 hrs military time on the bezel ring red for day black for night.

I wear my Russian"Boctok'daily.It is manual wind,not sure of date of manufacture or jewels.It keeps really good time,stays with my computer clock.Good enough for me!!

Hi Mike,
I had wondered about the night and day part. Next question, is the GMT, Greenwich Mean Time? Do these Rolex watches have a separate hand for the 24 hour dial?
Thanks guys for all answering my questions !!
I used this watch for my last 5 years on the railroad and liked it because of the 24 hour hand.

Bill, GMT does in fact mean Greenwich Mean Time like you said. If you look at the picture of my rolex you will see there is a red hand with a white pointer at the end, that can be set to any time zone you want ( I keep mine set to GMT, which is England ) and you would read the hour with the numbers on the bezel. the minutes and seconds would still be read with the regular ones on the dial.

Today I wore my 1984 Rolex Datejust 3035, SS & 18K Gold. Tomorrow, my 1929 Omega.

Thanks Joe,,
I see the hand now when you mention it.

Rose Gold Bulova 40's ish, I'd guess.

Back sez "W.K. Gillihan feb. 14,1886' The date seems a bit odd

Vostok Komandirskie Russian Double Eagle. Very accurate for a manual wind.

40's Elgin Pink gold drivers watch bendy lugs a go-go.

Bubbleback, ref. 3133, early '40s.

20's (?) Gruen Quadron

Superman!

Vintage Ebel

Vintage Ebel

I'll get this right yet!

This is one of my favorites that I have been wearing for the last week.

Bill, I love that band. The mark II is the nicest I have ever seen. If you see a silver colored band like that around the yard, please let me know.

This is my white dialed Marine Star.

Hi Wayne,
The Mark II is also my favorite traveling watch also, because of the " second hour hand" for a different time zone. The band came with, and I've never seen another. I'll sure keep my eye to the ground just in case though. Its a "Champion Brand" band.
Your Bulova has a nice clean, easy to read dial.

Bill, I copied this pic of the only other band I have seen with the tiny tuning forks. It was marked sold, but it didn't state a price.
