Thread: Smith's Military Pocket Watch,

  1. #1

    Smith's Military Pocket Watch,

    Late 70's issue, from my stepdad's Sargent's dress uniform

    He was going to give it to me, but it was a Smith's and he didn't know who they were, so I told him to hang onto it because it might be more valuable than he thought (he effectively thought it was worthless junk).

    Just to be clear, I know these aren't especially high value, and I know the 40's RAF and Field watches are top of the tree.

    Any info folks?

    Not that I can see, but it was issued with his dress uniform, he sitting beside me right now though and confirmed. He ended up an RSM.

    Is he sure it isn't a presentation from, perhaps, the Sgts/WOs mess. It is not an issued watch.
    In the Sotadic Zone, apparently.

    Ah, ok, yeah that sounds reasonable, could be what he meant, we've left the house so can't ask.

    Ok, fair enough, I probably misunderstood him.
