Description: These highly popular Vietnam American military combat watches are soughtafter by collectors seeking clean examples. Few have as nice a patina on the hands and dial, with a deep black dial without fading. Movement hacks as it should. Issued in 1973 during Vietnam with all of the ordinance markings still clear on the back. The steel Parkerized non-reflective case, with brown lumed hands and sweeps seconds match up nicely with the three period-correct New Old Stock one-piece nylon straps we're including here. Winds, sets, runs and keeps time but it has not been serviced. Marked GG-W-113 on the back with March 1973 as the military issue date. This watch has spring bars, which makes it easy to wear on a leather band if you go that way. Very wearable size in the range of many military watches of the time period. By far one of the most attractive cases, far superior to the earlier plated cases on many American military wristwatches. Our pictures are magnified 2.5X to 5X to show all conditions clearly, but keep in mind such macro pictures show things you won't notice in person. What you see are reflections, not flaws. Great opportunity in the hot field of vintage military watch collecting to get an American military issued collector's piece. Offered by a vintage watch leader on Ebay with 19,000 positive feedbacks here since 1998.
