Marine issued Tornek-Rayville
I noticed this fantastic watch and thought, that I would post it here.
These type of vintage watch really speaks to me and this model especially has stood the test of time - not least in the visual department.
I like the story about how the US Marine traded 3 BMG mounts for this rare watch.
I dont know about you, but I would very much like to find one of these and make a trade as well.

"I wanted to share with you a new watch that i picked up this week. I flew down to florida on Monday and drove to Georgia and met a retired US Marine that traded 3 50 Cal mounts for a tr-900 in late '60's in Vietnam. Here are some photos of the watch and some other extras. This is probably the best and earliest photo of a tr-900 worn by a soldier. Brian"
