Since I just added another RAF watch to the collection thought I would do a group shot of every RAF timepiece in the collection. The one on the bottom with white dial has a issue date of 1940 imagine if that one could talk the Battle of Britain was going on in that year. It's the history these watches have is why I collect them.

From WW2 to the 1990's

Should of got one years ago but they are now a little rich for my blood they are not cheap now. They are a cool watch even the movement has the broad arrow mark The Hamilton 6B is some times called the poor mans version of it due to the similarities in the dial close as I am going to get.

Believe it or not it snowed in the higher elevation the other day and was in the 40's with cold rain but stating to get back into the 70's. Weather in MT can change on a dime.

Great collection Mike. Thanks for sharing with us. Makes me think of my grandfather who flew B-25’s in WWII
