    Thanks for posting; I like the two Helvetica aviators and it's nice to see a collection more orientated towards pocket watches. What's the dial like on the white-faced Cyma GSTP; I have the black dial variant and it's really rather nice for such a utility watch?
    In the Sotadic Zone, apparently.

    I bet it takes a while to wind them all up doesnt it? Must make one hell of a sound. Like standing in a Swiss Cuckoo Clock shop.

    Smiths

    Again, the new watch collection!
    I think about him all you know everything, but I ask that you help with a small label on the lid of recognizing hours and tell me what the "T" in a circle means?

    It means the dial has Tritium lime. The circled T was a MoD requirement to show that Tritium was used.
    What is more interesting are the markings on the back of your watch; presumably Kenyan Army? Do you know the history of this particular watch? I don't recall seeing the Smiths marked in this way before.

    From what I've read again and I had a lot of luck! This Smiths, which I have classified as one of the rare military watches. Because they belonged to the Kenyan army by tag. Geronimo Thank you so much for helping.
