FS: Bulova US Officer WW2 *PIC*

Watch Bulova B1 Watch WW2
Year 1940s
Dial� The dial is original and shows a great patina. The railroad tracks are well engraved on the dial and radium plot are still visible.
Case Stainless steel case is in excellent conditions. The caseback shows the inscription «� ORD DEPT OF USA� », characteristic of watches ordered by the US in that case before the 2nd World War
Hands Hands and crown are in the typical art deco style and the patina matches perfectly the dial
Diameter 32mm without crown
Movement Hand winding
Strap Original green army force strap stitched around the fixed lugs

The diameter is smaller than army watches from similar period, and as all military timepieces, the story about it is extraordinary. This Bulova watch is a relic of the D-Day which happened in Normandy, France. Following the end of war the officer swapped this watch against a case of Calvados. The owner kept it in his house of Normandy until I get it from his son.

1,400€ (payment by bank wire only) + shipping

Please ask all your questions and for more pictures if need be. I do not accept any return as I am selling my collection

Thanks to Chronotrader for the space
