hawkdriver Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Some days, the collecting gods smile. I picked this watch up, not being a "watch" guy, I took a stab at this one. Visit my eBay store: http://stores.ebay.com/crustyw4scorner/ Link to post Share on other sites
hawkdriver Posted August 7, 2013 Author Share Posted August 7, 2013 Here is the "Canteen" portion. This was the first attempt at waterproofing the weak link of the watch. Visit my eBay store: http://stores.ebay.com/crustyw4scorner/ Link to post Share on other sites
hawkdriver Posted August 7, 2013 Author Share Posted August 7, 2013 Now, here is the coup-de-grau. I took the strap off to see what was written on the back and this is what I found. Doesn't get any better than this! Visit my eBay store: http://stores.ebay.com/crustyw4scorner/ Link to post Share on other sites
1canpara Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Wow Hawk! I am a watch guy and I can tell you this is a very cool watch!! I have a copy of one, and I love it, but the real thing is awesome! Rick Collector of WWII M-1helmets and WWII Airborne items Link to post Share on other sites
hawkdriver Posted August 7, 2013 Author Share Posted August 7, 2013 Thanks. I didn't know it, but this watch came out of a collection that I have been into for some time. It's unfortunate that I didn't find this with the rest of the collection. The guy that got this originally didn't even know what it was and I don't know how I missed it.

kriegsmodell Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Very nice Steve! "I looked up at the bunker in front of me and saw a khaki-uniformed NVA with a pith helmet, chest web gear, green Bata boots and an AK, Type 56, and no other identifying insignia. Then I shot him." -- Sergeant Tony "Fast Eddie" Anderson, RT Kansas, TF1AE, 1971 "My God, where do we find these men?" President George H. W. Bush commenting on 1st SFOD-Delta after the Operation Acid Gambit rescue of Kurt Muse. "Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?" Then I said, "Here am I. Send me." - Inscription on the dog tag resting on the flag-draped homeward bound casket of an American Special Opearations warrior killed in action in Afghanistan, July 2005. - Dick Couch - Chosen Soldier Link to post Share on other sites
