I was looking at some of those just yesterday. How are they?

Heavy! Weighs a lot. Feels good to hold, solid, robust... Russian!

Diameter 5,5 cm ~ 2 in

Use it a lot in TMO... "Single contact, Sir! Long distance!" click!

Can only recommend it. Wanted an authentic WW2 US Chronometer, but changed my mind when I saw the price... this will be perfectly fine!

Thanks for the review. I might just be picking one up.

I love pocket watches.

High klaxon sirens hooked up to my doorbell? No. I can barely put up with the telephone ringing while I'm sleeping.

Picked these up just a while ago:

1944 US Navy Binoculars, made by the Spencer Lens Company. The case was made by Bausch & Lomb. And the cool thing is that the lenses (7x50) are crystal-clear.

Admiral8Q · 04-04-10, 02:36 AM

Very nice!!!

Of course - they are "coated"!

Looks really great!

May I ask how much you paid for them?

Admiral8Q · 04-04-10, 07:11 AM

This is what my "Ultimate" door bell would sound like...

Wow nice!!! What a find!

But, if that's do not fell authentic for a WWII american skipper, at least you can fake it as you were te skipper of the Red October. I believe that either Sean connery or Sam Neil uses one of those to time evnts on the movie.

Just over a 100 bucks.

my grandpa has all sorts of stuff spanning all eras,
Civil war,
Korea,
WWII,
he doesn't have any WWI memorabilia oddly enough.

but Luke, he has 2 pair of those exact same binocs sitting in the garage. I know. but considering he has over $100,000 in guns and some really nasty nazi cutlery in his closet, why bother?

I asked him for a pair though...he just glared at me
