these are never opened cases that were made by Wakmann Watch Co for the US military in 1954. Sealed in cardboard round cartons with metal ends. The cartons say “Stock number FD-36-7197100, nomenclature case assembly, quantity one, contract no. DA36-038-ord-15920. Contractor , Wakmann Watch Co, inc. Date; second quarter 1954. Method, 1C4. Like the $500.00 hammer and $800.00 toilet seat who know what the government paid for these unused cases. These cases are non reflective stainless steel and will fit most of the movement that were made for the government during the 1940’s by using a spacer on some. The case back says U.S Ord No. Grade WG. They have crystal, screw on back and under that is a dust cover. Measure 31.5 mm across the case from side to side not counting the stem area and 39 mm from lug end to lug end and 11.5 mm thick. I have a few of these to sell. |
