Serial Number 010240, Sept. 1967 DTU2A/P Benrus. Issued in 1968 and which flew in the back seat of an F4 Phantom through at least 1970.

I wear this often and proudly to commemorate my extreme respect for the people who carried these in Viet-Nam and especially for the individual who gifted this one to me after he came back.

Thank you

I just found it this past weekend, sold as "not working". Put a battery in, and like magic it is working.

I think this is a 4-5 year old model, their 26B35 with alarm function. Stainless Steel case and bracelet, sapphire crystal. Timing spot on since Saturday. Not a scratch on it.

I like black dials, and this one has a 3-dimensional pattern that catches the light in a subtle way.

This is my first Accutron.

Here's my Caravelle 17J 11DP sporting a new see through back, (Thanks to Ernie Barnes!) and a new Speidel band! Runs well, keeps accurate time too. Smile

I just bought a 1949 21j Lord Elgin in great shape for $70 on eBay. I'll post a pic of it when I get it in a few days.

Today, I am wearing my 1948 Hamilton Lester.

Richard,
I really like that watch! What do you know about the movement? Pretty interesting (and complicated).

Rafal,
I dig yours as well. Is that a precursor to IWC?
