Day, night, weekeend.



1948 O.P. with bubblebck case and bombe lugs. I have an original stretch bracelet and box and papers. I wear it in a Nato to blend in for when i don’t care about time. Seconds are an option on this watch.

2011 Ex.2 with cyclops removed. It runs fast, disappears on the wrist, and ticks all the boxes for me. 3186 fir those me that care. Their is no residue from the cyclops and you can see the curve on the dial clearly.

2018 Chnr. I got the call on the day of my birthday. By a local AD who I had only stopped by twice before. I never mentioned the date at all so either good sleuthing or luck. Ill take it. Walked in the next day. Runs about 1-2s slow.

Thanks all!

The story goes that my father paid $100 or some such for the OP. I think in the 80’s working for United Air Lines as the station mgr for the airport.
