Benrus Military

[Serpico2359]

I've aquired what I believe is a vintage Benrus military watch. My grandfather was in WWII and it might be his issued watch. I have reservations about this because the watch is in great condition. There are a few scuffs in the crystal and on the case. Otherwise, the watch runs accurately and the hands and face are perfect!

The back of the watch reads:

Watch, Wrist
General Purpose
Mil W 46374
Mfr Benrus
Serial # 06476
Stainless Steel

Can anyone tell me if this watch is from WWII time period. If anything, I'm almost sure its from the 60's or 70's era.

yeah, thanks. I already googled it and couldn't find the answer to my question. Thats why I thought I would consult this forum.

Could you post a picture of the watch.

I have a replica Benrus. Purchased it from U. S. Wings just to have one.

So, I picture might help identify whether or not it is a replica or original.

I firmly believe it is wrong for seller to cheat buyers. It is also wrong for buyers to do after transaction / sale bargain by picking up small discrepancy. Watches nowadays are both expensive and cheap. since WalMart and others are selling cheap watch at $7.99 that can be used fine too and keeps time. Please don't buy them even if my price is the lowest one on eBay or internet. You buy them only you need it. Sell a watch and purchase a watch is a happy experience. If you dont' belong to them, please don't bid. If you don't have many feedbacks, please contact us before you bid. If you don't really need them then came back like a crying baby, please don't bid.
