    Yes, indeed -- thanks. Do you have a sense of when that watch would have been first issued?

    hmmm I can guess as I like a hammy but am no expert on it it's a world war 2 piece so anywhere from 1939 to 1945 but it could be a later piece I would say 50's feel right at a guess but I am sure some one will have a better Idea of it then me ..

    one of the reasons I did the thread was to find out more about them in general plus the early stuff

    found a half decent back shot but upside down

    I believe that w-800 with the black face was a USN issue - the parts no represents the movement Grade 987A sub-seconds . small watch of course , probably 30 mm or so -The k h v stamp stands for the case manuf Keystone , H stood for Hamilton of course and the 3 is the model of case

    this is my early 70's issued watch [ Falklands era ]one of the last before they went to quartz - fab bullet proof hefty watch that looks good anyway

    perhaps after the earth tremor i believe the back of the watch would be more of a giveaway
