Justasgood Posted November 12, 2009 Author Report Posted November 12, 2009 That's a beauty, K What does the term 'comparing watch' mean? I believe the Navy used time for navigation and this was the quartermaster's piece. Kinda like GPS.....
jfreeman420 Posted November 12, 2009 Report Posted November 12, 2009 Stamped base metal? Was this one inexpensive when new or was base metal regularly used? What does this go for today?
lanikai Posted November 12, 2009 Report Posted November 12, 2009 Can that movement be made to fit the fiddy ??..
TeeJay Posted November 12, 2009 Report Posted November 12, 2009 I believe the Navy used time for navigation and this was the quartermaster's piece. Kinda like GPS..... Ahh, so that would have been the 'time source' to which other clocks/watches would have been set and compared?
visitor Posted November 13, 2009 Report Posted November 13, 2009 Very cool! Would be a shame to tear apart that unique piece of history to make a silly replica!
