This arrived today, it's something of a grail watch for me only because it was made in the same year and month that I was born.
It's a Benrus Military mechanical standard issue watch, the movement is 17 jewel Swiss with a hacking second hand. When looking at the case I can't help but wonder where the minor dinks and scrapes have come from, as I have some good history on the watch.
It belonged to a Vietnam vet from Minnesota who did several tours of Vietnam during the war, documented by his photo albums.
