I bought a "NOS" 24 hr Elgin military not too long ago
by Ron
and it was advertised as having a cal. 539 movement. When I had it opened for service, it had a 685 movement (with NO letter in front of the 685). The movment looked NOS. Probably the seller has not opened the watch to look at the movement to verify. That is what happened in my case. I overpaid, but after bringing this discrepancy to the seller's attention, I was refunded a suitable amount. There is a lot of confusion, neglect, etc. in this world-wide watch market! Ron
