PLEASE NOTE: I am selling a number of watches and parts from some collections I've acquired. They are in various conditions and all are being sold 'AS IS', including this 1940's Swiss 16 Size 15J WWII Canadian Military Broad Arrow Running Strong!, so please read my descriptions carefully before bidding or buying. I will attempt to be as accurate as possible and I also package very well, but watches are somewhat delicate by nature, so please ask questions if you're not sure what you are buying.

Also, please read my feedback and note that my BIN prices are usually under the selling point at end of auctions... this watch will look better in your hand than it does in the pics. 

This unbranded [typically, the brands are removed on most WWII military pieces, especially if they were sold off after the war], open faced pocket watch is in very good shape for its age and is cased in what appears to be a nickel/silver alloy case. It is double-marked on the back and the bottom perimeter with the correct symbols for Canadian Military use during WWII...the 'C' with a broad arrow and accompanying numbering. The movement is a 15J with the namer also removed, but still signed '15 Jewels' and 'Swiss Made'. My educated guess is that this is a Buren Grand Prix movement, but I'm open to correction. The watch winds, sets [stem wind/set] and runs well and is keeping good time, though I have no idea when it was last serviced. Overall case condition is very nice for a service piece with low wear throughout, including the bow and crown. Case diameter is approx. 51mm [US 16 size]. The single sunk porcelain dial has a sub second hand at 6 o'clock and huge, large military style Arabic indices, as well as large hands and has also been de-marked. It has no hairline cracks and no visible chips...it looks excellent. The crystal is new acrylic, so is the only part non-original and it looks great. Overall, this is a very clean example of a vintage service timepiece from over 80 years ago. It'd make a fine addition to any collection, military or otherwise....you won't be disappointed!
