    WRUW March 2017 starts here:



    welcome my vintage friends. think for the starter of this month, well it's got to be one of the trench watches I picked up in a job lot managed to get two working (well I say two one decide after me trying to regulate it to stop again got it to within 20 mins then just stopped and does not want to know) but guess one ant bad for some thing coming up to a hundred years old so my starter as I say is this 1918 silver case Birmingham hallmarked Swiss made movement trench watch at the amazing size of 28mm with out a crown and yes it is a man's watch men was men back then and did not need really big watches to prove it
