Milspec 1 - Mission Ready!!
Sometimes the run of collecting is often in the accessories!!!..
A couple of new pieces - the compass and the thermometer!!
The thermometer was an excellent little find - paid buttons for an old depth gauge - purely because the thermometer came as a side dish, clipped onto the strap!! So hard to come by, you have to think outside of the obvious to get what your after sometimes.
and this interesting aluminium compass was another recent find.
Gives the right look for a mission ready watch.
(although completely un-practible to actually wear for everyday use, fun for creating photo shots)
have a good weekend guys.
cheers Tony

That is an exciting game!
Huge congratulations, Tony. These are excellent finds. Here is what I found, some years ago, and your post made me realize that I had to go back hunting! Best! Nicolas ...
Yes, Claude. A long time we didn't see him!
The problem I have with my set is that it is ok for a french FF, not for an US FF... So I have to go back hunting to get the right goodies. Best, Nicolas.
Looking good Matt - and here is a good example...

Very Nice Brian, and thanks for the comments....
...now I like that compass a lot! That would go well with my new little thermometer. What brand is it? cheers Tony
It was made by aqua star in the early '70's
You slide the strap down the slot and than screw down a thin pin. Hold compass in place. Cute little guy! ...
Nice additions to the thread!!...
...and if I'm not mistaken, that matt dialed No-Radiation is a Bundeswehr? So equally eligable for Brian's post on Issued Fifty Fathoms? the silver dialed fifty fathom - do you have any other photos of it? would love to see some more. cheers Tony

I have annotated in a database 18 serial numbers that I have seen around the Web. Some of them only the case is present. Usually they started 209 but I have seen two started in 208. I think they are very special watches! Regards. PD: The knife is to take ...
