My RAAF with flat crystal....

Beautiful example David! [nt]

Thanks reintitan = )

Thanks David

Same here! Nice one! [nt]

Very nice! [nt]

Love the proportion of the crown to the case... looks sturdy. [nt]

The crown was designed oversized so the pilot/navigator could wind/set the watch easily with their gloves on. [nt]

Superb article, my friend. Just one thing: The bars on the RAAF were drilled out, spring or fixed. I've seen a bit of everything, from pictures or in the real. [nt]

Thanks Nico. I wonder if those you saw with fixed bars had mismatched case and dials? I've seen some RAF case backs mated w/ RAAF dials for example. [nt]

Here is mine, RAAF.

It would be very difficult to remove that watch from my wrist if I owned it [nt]

I know that feeling too well! Thanks, Tony. [nt]

One of the best examples out there.

Yes, it is with big pride that I wear it. Thanks, Reintitan. [nt]

superb looking Nico 👍

Merci, David. [nt]

You really should get the IWC...! [nt]

I know, I know... ;) Thanks, Blomman. [nt]

My first real passion

Aaah, Jacob... Getting the pair is the way to go... Add a Hamilton and you are in Mark 11 heaven. ;) [nt]

Not counting Smiths DeLuxe 6B? [nt]

Crazy! Bravo! In this case, we should also add the Omega CK 2777. ;) [nt]

Do you have the entire extant examples of the Smiths DeLuxe 6B???

I guess that I should complete the set of all known samples of Smiths DeLuxe 6B... [nt]

Excellent examples Jacob. [nt]
