Interesting, Marv...
I spent the whole day with some great Vintage Fans, and we also spoke about the Vintage FFs, of course ( you know me well ...
).
Can you please forward me the case back number of yours, AND the movement inside ( 1360 or R 570 ? ).
I have some informations to check.
Thanks for another interesting post, which may also help me in the understanding of some Vintage Milspecs ( sorry for the redundance ).
All the best, my friend.
Nicolas.
PS: If you don't feel comfortable to share the case number publicly, would you mind sending me a PM?

Great Catalog
Marv That is some great detective work! One of our members owned a civilian Milspec that was originally purchased at Abercrombie. My milspec was also purchased at Abercrombie....
Hi, Brian.
The member in question is Marv, I think. Can you please provide me the case number and what movement is housed in your Civilian Milspec? I have to check something on one I may consider getting... Best, my friend. Nicolas.
Movement number
Nicolas My watch has never had the back off and i don't have the nerve to be the first. Sorry no movement number....
No, no, Brian...
I did not mean the movement number, but the movement. Sorry to not have been clear. Do you know what is the movement in your Milspec? Best, Nicolas.
No movement number.
I have never opened my watch so i don't ever know what type of movement in my watch. I am going to check one reference page and see if i can dig the type up. Brian
intriguing discovery!
somethinjg neither umberto eco nor dan brown could have written...! thanks for sharing this J

What a great suprise. "Demolition" watch is kind of catchy if you want my opinion. Best regards, George

Moisture indicator.
Thanks for the catalogue photo, Marv. It's one of the few (only?) photos I've seen where the Moisture Indicator is still its original blue.
Superb detective work!...
Very glad all of your searching has paid off. You've found an excellent piece of documentation for your watch. I hate to think how many other A&F catalogs you must have searched for, tracked down and bought, before find this one!! LOL Cheers Tony
a nice F letter. Make that double F. The missing link, unsolved puzzle, finding..
..the certainty of that treasure piece must have been heart fulfilling.. I can feel your relief happy for you!
Great post Marv
always enjoy reading your posts. I can really appreciate the work involved to track down this information. It reminds me a little of some ads I posted a while ago which featured the Rolex Frogman and Skindiver....
