Well, since we all know that watches and shaving were the primary impetus behind this, I'll start things on the watch end.  Post 'em up!

This fellow arrived today.  Steinhart Marine Officer Bronze Chronograph.  Picked it up as a memorial to my grandmother, who passed away last week, and appreciated such things.

$9,250 MSRP.

Grey market is $16k+

If you don't have a relationship with an AD, on a "waitlist", or bundle with PM models - it's a bit tough to get one.

Nice Hamilton, B. What's the contract date?

Mine is Aug 1978, the same month and year I enlisted on AD, and I wore it on my last day in uniform in 2010.

@grondike, February of 1983. Not in nearly as good of shape as yours but still a worthwhile piece for the collection. Both military and watch collections, I guess.

Thanks; I'd been searching for a while and got lucky with this one. Yours looks good for what was essentially a disposable watch. I've seen plenty in worse shape.

Thanks, man!
That's a great military snag. I love that era.
Here's a bunch of Benrus Vietnam era models; the first ones are GI issued '65 and' 69 DTU-2A/P models. The latter are civilian Benrus Wrist Alarm models (the same watch as Steve McQueen's watch in Bullitt but it has a dual-crown alarm complication).

I was referencing the "went to look at a 2018 one".

I'd personally rather have the 1675

This watch spends pretty much all of its' time in my gun safe, but I take it out and wind it up two or three times a year just to watch it run.
I bought it at a pawn shop in 1970. The case is 18K gold,, and it has a 21-jewel movement. It's not only my favorite watch, but is my most prized possession. The inscription on the back inner cover reads: Presented to / Thomas Taylor / by the / Engineers, Firemen, and Shopmen / of the / B. & O. R.R. / Newark, O. / Jan. 19, 1885.
