Here are some photos of my Hamilton Khaki that I purchased from the mainside PX at Quantico during the Summer of 1981 while I was at USMC OCS. I sent it back to Hamilton last year for a refurb but it didn't need much just a good cleaning and some parts replaced. My youngest son swiped it and now wears it daily. It has always kept excellent time and has been pretty much bulletproof.

I would if I had one. I like the WWII watches. But I am interested in the watches with the metal over
the crystal. I do have one of those- would have been my grandfather's. He served in WWI. I may have
to get it restored. Didn't know what it was.

That watch is begging for restoration and to be placed back in service.

Not an original but a nice Benrus replica.

I had this one and can't remember what happened to it. I believe it has the same movement as the military ones.

the CWC on the left is issued - the O&W on the right is a good reproduction

Hi,

I wear this Bulova A-11..only watch I became used to wearing...
Had to have it fixed three times last year....new balance, new spring, but parts are plentiful.
The watchmaker is 93 years old...was educated late thirties in Glashutte, Germany, so getting it serviced is no problem at all..

This Datora has been my everyday use watch. The navitimers are just elegant.

An unbelievable Panerai kampfschwimmer turned up in a Glasgow salesroom last year - the hammer went down at around £45K………incredible watch!

I love those watches. Remember the time when a watch was considered and indispensable tool?

Hello!

Normally with my A-2 I wear my TUTIMA Fliegeruhr 1941 (which is a replica of the oiginal WWII watch), sometimes my DORNBLÜTH (which is made in the style of old marine watch-clocks).

I wear a modern Hamilton Khaki handwind on a NATO most days. It's pretty similar to the GGW-113. Worn with a current issue Cockpit A-2.

Yes! I'm also a member of the WUS forum and was sadly scammed out of a German military watch there a few years ago ‍

I am particularly partial to the Dornbluth, s superb example of German engineering.
