Affordable Vintage Mil Watches

[Marcusu]

Hi all,
Seems many vintage military watches are now in the pricey bracket: £1,000-2,000.
What watches can you still buy for beer money - ie: £100-£200
I'll try to name a few:
CWC/Precista G10's
Some of the ATP's
Russian Vostok Komandirskies
US A-11's
Vietnam era Benrus/Hamilton field watches

Any others you can think of?
Cheers,
Marcus

Maybe marathon watches.

Maybe marathon watches.

Yep a Marathon Field watch would fit the price range. They look pretty good too.

PRS-5, 18 or 53 if someone is silly enough to (or unfortunate enough to have to) let their's go.

I was very fortunate and got my Seiko 6105 from SC for not very much more than the upper range of your budget, well worth the stretch in my opinion, the doubled domed crystal is beautiful.

US Ord and A17. WWW Record maybe.

You can buy German military DH watch for that Money, but only if you good watching (many fakes watches).

Thanks Harry, I'd definitely like a PRS-5 if one came up for sale.
I'll check out the Seiko 6105, looks good and i like the connection to Colonel White in Apocalypse Now.

Luminox?

[Marcusu]

Thanks for your suggestions all.
I'm thinking of an ATP to add to my collection as I want to follow the WW2 theme.
An ADANAC Navigator or PRS-5 look tempting though!

Great watch and a nice price!

Seems like a record

[Reeny]

Issued stopwatches and pocket watches can be cheap enough.

Ingersol marked with YK1060, not sure about the history of this one..... 1991 issued Precista (PE Instructor's stopwatch) manufactured by Racine

[Lampoc]

Seems like a record

Is that a military watch pun or just an accident?

Trying to find a pic of my Oct '65 Benrus but for now G10 on a GGB

There's an old precista on the bay at the moment.

There's an old precista on the bay at the moment.

If it's the one I saw, it's not really a precista, it does not have the original case .
