Most of the watches in my “Watches for restoration section” were purchased with a view to clean and service them and list them in my main section. However, when I inspect a watch if I find one or two faults then I list them here and this watch is one of those examples
This watch is working but has NOT been cleaned or serviced and so is sold with NO Warranty and NO Guarantees
This is a Swiss pocket watch made for and sold by Recta and used by the British government during WWII
Movement – good quality nickel bridge movement has a lever escapement and is signed “Recta”. The movement is in 95% mint condition – excellent condition.
Case – the movement comes in a base metal open face case, which has a snap on back and bezel. The case is engraved on the back GSTP,S F003577 and also has the broad arrow British government mark. The case is in 70% mint condition – some pitted marks and plating missing but like all military cases, still perfectly useable
