Watch Description

Couldn't pass this one up on ebay for $20 with free shipping. There were only two photos of it and no details listed. It's a 1945 case with with a 1946 movement in it. The dial appears to have been refinished. I wound it up and over a 24 hour period it  gained about one minute. I haven't put it on the timing machine yet but it's running strong.

Nice one at a nice price. We have a couple like it in the database (white w/21J and charcoal dial) identified as Douglas.

Nice example and an absolute buy at $20.

Thank all of you for confirming this one. Figured it would only be an organ donor watch when I won the bid. But every now and then Lady Luck hands you a smile.
