    **** What do we think of this ****



    Well the one in the middle I get a good vibes from what do you think it is and how old do you think it is ?

    Military ?

    hidden gem ?

    Rolex movement maybe ?

    What say you ?

    The one of the far left is pretty cool. I know Swatch likes its crazy dials, but I like the look of the original crazy dials.

    As for the center, I have my vintage watch book but cannot find it. Actually, the book is hard to use if there is not a name on the dial.. My guess is that if it was original dial, it'll be more plebeian of a movement. If a redial, perhaps a higher grade? My guess is also that it is not military. Mil Spec would require more markings. That is the military way! Guess is made in the 40s.

    Is the Timex case gold plated or does the like make it look that way?

    Cheers,

    Dan
