Beautiful piece Tom, confirmed by the almighty, what could be better than that? That´s what I´d call a nice find. My WWW collection is now complete, time to look for new ventures! | ||||

Nice find, Tom. Great images as well. The example in Konrad's book BRITISH MILITARY TIMEPIECES is on page 279. The one in the book is # C41713. While the keywind continued to be popular in England long after the introduction of the stemwind, it's strange to see keywind watches purchased by the military as late as 1914-18. I have to wonder if they were first issued many years before and still in service through WWI? Anyway, it's a super nice watch. | |||
