Is it time to lay the Vulcan Seiko to rest?

There has always been speculation that there existed a yellow faced Seiko 7A38 that was used by Vulcan bomber crew but never any official documentation.

Here is one that was sold yesterday on ebay from Vienna in Austria on its original bracelet, which I would not be surprised if it were to subsequently turn up on a Nato strap with a ''new'' history of belonging to an old Uncle who flew Vulcans or it was bought from an Army and Navy store after being found in some old flight overalls pocket.

Unless of course one of the planes crash landed in Vienna and a local lass helped the pilot to escape the burning inferno and as a measure of his gratitude . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .etc etc. . . :?

Personally I think this shows that this yellow dialled Seiko 7A38 was just an ordinary commercially available watch, albeit a scarce one.

Anyone any thoughts?
