For those interested: Cockpit pocket watch on eBay - selling from the UK

Good Evening / Morning Ladies and Gentlemen

Not really for me - but someone may find it worthwhile... A Mk IVa, H.WILLIAMSON non-luminous Pocket Watch. This would have been placed in the cockpit of a WW1 Allied plane. Definitely seen better days and missing the second hand, but certainly appears to be the 'real deal' - no holes for a suspension loop in the stem and an 8 day movement. Internals look very good. 2 bids and 9 days to go. Currently the highest bid is US$8.77.

Williamson owned the Swiss, Buren Watch Co. from 1898 until 1932.
