hi Kimby,
in its day it would have been a very nice watch, but the dial seems to be
past its best now which is a real shame. it is a benrus, but it isnt a military
watch IMO. firstly its gold or gold plated and i've never come across a gold
military watch, secondly it is a very nice day/date pointer which wouldnt have
been used by the military.
Benrus had a long history of watchmaking before being used by the military
and made some very fine watches in the 30's which is what i think it is.
if it works and you like it then enjoy it for what it is
best
Graham
