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....

Nicolas My watch has never had the back off and i don't have the nerve to be the first. Sorry no movement number....  

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.

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

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.

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

Demolition Watch... who would've guessed! Very cool.

..the certainty of that treasure piece must have been heart fulfilling.. I can feel your relief happy for you!

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....
