1940's VINTAGE RECORD BRITISH MILITARY ISSUE WATCH
I have for sale another of these watches which are now becoming rare and extremely difficult to obtain. I doubt very much whether I will be able to offer them for this price again.
Manufactured by Record they were standard British military issue in the 1940s. The lugs are fixed, not spring bars. The back is stamped with the arrow (crows foot) symbol and the ordnance numbers.
These fine quality watches were made without compromise and employ the renowned Swiss-made Record 15 jewel 022 calibre running and functioning exactly as it should. The markers, numerals and hands are luminous Tritium compound. The crystal is acrylic (as the contract states it must be) and is slightly domed. There is an auxilary dial to record the seconds. The movement is 'hackable' to allow syncronization.
The dimensions are 36mm diameter and 42mm from lug to lug. The lug width is 18mm. The watch does not come with a strap.
I am selling thise watch for $300 including delivery. If you are in the UK the price is £195.00
Payment in US$ or UK£ by money order, cash or bank transfer. My preferred method of payment is cash in either Dollars or Pounds, this method of payment is fastest and cheapest for us both. So far I have found the postal system 100% secure for sending cash and watches.
If the watch you buy in any way fails to meet your expectations then please return it to me. I will be glad to refund your payment less postage.
Please feel free to email me if you require further scans or information.
The watches will be shipped via Registered Post (where possible).
A LITTLE HISTORY
The broad arrow which appears on the dial of these watches, has it's origins in the 16th century. It was used to mark the outside of leather bags containing arrows, to show which way they faced. It was eventually adopted by the government and War Office to denote military property.
This watch bears the following ordinance markings:
