Eagle Eyes WANTED

Back before Covid closed the local bookstore for business, I snapped a few photos from a WW2 aviation book. Can anyone spot the two watches in these photos? I can guess this 1st pilot is wearing an A-11 (because he is American) though I could be wrong. Th...

. . . so you were fortunate to even have it in your sights. Another difficult aviator Omega to score: ref 2042. I've never seen one in the metal. Same goes for ref 2129 . . . can't recall ever handling one. ...
Thanks Art...
