NEW!
The
rare 1950's GLYCINE AIRMAN vintage
military watch was used in Vietnam;
popular amongst military servicemen
and pilots everywhere during
the 1950's-70's due to the bold
and easy to read 24 hour dial.
These dials display both 24
hour time and conventional time
at the same time! This example
is spectacular overall...all
original, including the black
dial with military hands (excellent
condition) having the original
bubble date crystal displaying
early and rarer 1950's red date.
The lower crown locks the rotating
bezel. The entire case is in
stellar condition with no major
dings or scratches. The automatic
winding, signed GLYCINE FELSA
692 movement was recently cleaned
and is keeping time very well!
The FELSA 692 was the first
movement used from 1950-60.
This movement was fully serviced
at the GLYCINE service center
with receipt in our pictures
and included in the sale. These
watches are very hard to find...quite
collectable... and uncommon
in this all original condition!
Please note; many are not aware,
GLYCINE AIRMAN watches have
a hacking seconds feature. When
the crown is pulled out a hollow
tube shoots up a microscopic
wire at 12:00 stopping the second
hand when it reaches 12:00!
This hacking seconds feature
is working perfectly! Please
also note. PARTS TO FIX SECOND
STOP ARE NO LONGER AVAILABLE...they
sold out. Due to the desirability
of the GLYCINE AIRMAN, there
are FAKES out there...we know
the difference...many are getting
scammed...be careful...especially
on eBay! This is a prime all
correct and original example
of a 1950's GLYCINE Airman with
hacking seconds! $1995.

SOLD
The
GLYCINE AIRMAN vintage military
watch was used in Vietnam; popular
amongst military servicemen and
pilots everywhere in the 1950's
onward, due to the bold and easy
to read 24 hour dial. These dials
display both 24 hour time and
conventional time at the same
time! This example is spectacular
overall...all original, including
the pristine black dial with military
hands (excellent condition) having
the original bubble date crystal.
This dial is one of the finest
we have seen! *Please note...scratches
on the crystal shown in picture
have been removed. The lower crown
locks the rotating bezel. The
entire case is in fine condition
with no major dings or scratches;
only normal nicks from regular
use and (usual) wear on the caseback,
but readable with a loupe. The
automatic winding, signed GLYCINE
movement was recently cleaned
and authenticated by FALCON WATCH
COMPANY in 2008 (receipt attached)
and is keeping time very well!
This later version of the airman
features hacking seconds when
the crown is pulled out. Also,
the quickset date feature is also
present on this circa 1975 version!
Due to the desirability of the
GLYCINE AIRMAN, there are FAKES
out there...we know the difference...many
are getting scammed...be careful...especially
on eBay! This is a prime all correct
and original example of a 1970's
GLYCINE Airman with the original
GLYCINE band and service receipt!
To add to this; this watch and
another AIRMAN were purchased
from the original owner who was
a pilot....his exact note to me
is below when he sold it to me.
Also his actual picture is included
in my pictures. Both watches will
be posted for sale. The watch
we are selling in this description
is serial #323119. The leather
shield he mentions is not included...it
is rotted and has fallen apart.
He says as follows:
"I
bought these watches in 1976 and
used them for about 10 years while
flying over 4,000 hours in the
C-130, T-41C and MC-130E with
the USAF. Both run but the one
without a watchband will not set.
I am reluctant to pull on the
stem. I seem to remember I had
a problem with a stem before and
had it repaired in St. Louis (Falcon
I believe is their name). The
one without a watchband is the
one I used the most and it shows
more wear. It reads GLYCINE AIRMAN
on the face. The markings on the
back are rubbed pretty smooth
but you can read Pat 314050, 323.119
and a (serial number) 940866 on
the back. The one with the watchband
reads GLYCINE AIRMAN SPECIAL on
the face and Pat 314050, 323.119
and a (serial number) 940921 on
the back. It runs well and seems
to function ok. As you can see
from the pictures both have wear
but are in good condition. I will
include the generic metal watchband
with leather shield which kept
the sweat off the watch as pictured
in the black and white photo of
me from 1977"
We sell more vintage GLYCINE AIRMAN's
than any dealer in the world,
so you can be assured of all our
GLYCINES being "correct".
This is as complete and fine as
one will ever find when seeking
a GLYCINE AIRMAN pilots' watch!
Here
is a Broad Arrow (British Military) CYMA TAVANNES
military watches in one of the largest (original)
stainless steel cases you will find, measuring
a whopping 38.5mm! The case is resembles a "refined
solid, steel block"... 12.5mm. thick... double
bezel that is stepped...(both bezels wide), with
steel screw back having marking of "5"
on the rear. These watches are the favourites
of watchmakers: they speak of their very fine
movements; not unlike the quality of OMEGA of
same era...very robust and reliable....a true
military "beast" of a watch that could
handle most situations during battle. The dial;
(unlike most we find) is all ORIGINAL, glossy
black, CYMA, in gold gilt and TAVANNES in silver
print with gold, reflective, Arabic, bold numerals
and substantial sub-seconds register, all in near
new condition! The original radium is still intact
on the pencil hands and markers...geeze! If you
are looking for a massive military watch that
feels "LIKE IRON" on the wrist....and
looks like your lady in the "face"...you
got it. $1150.

SOLD!
It
is rare to find such a well preserved WW2 aviators
watch such as this...especially having an all original
dial! This circa 1939, 36.5x44mm. HELBROS AVIATORS
watch is truly a feast for the eyes! The case is chrome
plated, pristine with double hinged back, one signed
HELBROS and the other with the serial number. The
signed, HELBROS manual winding movement was just cleaned,
overhauled and maintaining accurate time. You can't
help but notice the original, extended onion winding
crown; designed to be operated while the pilot is
wearing gloves. The radium dial is completely original
and as you can see, in very fine condition, as are
the blued steel, radium "fancy" hands. The
bezel rotates to set the triangular (inner) marker
to mark timing positions. Also, the bezel is "double"
top section "beaded", lower is coin edge.
These watches are so hard to find...especially, so
fine as this! You will love wearing it with your bomber
jacket!
Look
at this very uncommon 37mm. Jardur aviators chronograph.
It is rarer to see a gold filled case in such pristine
condition! The original dial is as clean as you will
ever find! Most aren't aware, JARDUR watches are considered
to be a “tool” watch.... designated only
for pilots and marketed in EUROPE. Note the completely
ORIGINAL, bold, black, vibrant red and white dial...perfect
for high visibility on this sophisticated 24 hour
dial! Note the scale for degrees. The 3,6,9 are located
in the middle of the chronograph chapters and original
radium hands.This rare example houses the VALJOUX
72. This movement was just disassembled and cleaned...
all functioning perfectly. This movement is considered
to be one of the finest EVER produced; and was used
by the ROLEX DAYTONA PAUL NEWMAN chronograph. This
is a striking and all original pilots watch in very
fine condition! We just can't pin down which air force
actually commissioned them... some help would be appreciated!
The 37mm. gold filled with stainless steel screw back
(original) case is in very fine overall condition.
A real stunning example! We often see the name of
the case manufacturer "Pilgrim" etched out
in the inside case back. This is actually documented
in military watch reference books. We don't know why
they did it, but half the Jardurs we've seen have
it omitted. This particular JARDUR does not have the
name etched out. We have been specializing and selling
more JARDURS than any dealer in the world. They are
EXTREMELY uncommon! We seek them out for you! $2695.

Look
at this very uncommon 36.5mm. JARDUR solid, stainless
steel Chronograph. This early Jardur chronograph
is all original; with polished, oval pushers and
exotic black dial having cathedral style hands...
Beautiful! Most aren't aware, JARDUR watches are
considered to be a “tool” watch....
designated only for pilots and marketed in
EUROPE. Note the completely ORIGINAL, bold, black,
vibrant red and white dial...perfect for high visibility
on this sophisticated 24 hour dial! Note the scale
for degrees. The 3,6,9 are located in the middle
of the chronograph chapters and original radium
hands.This early and rare example houses the VALJOUX
71, instead of the usual 72 that is often seen.
This movement was just disassembled and cleaned...
all functioning perfectly. This is a striking and
all original pilots watch in very fine condition!
We just can't pin down which air force actually
commissioned them... some help would be appreciated!
The 36.5mm. screw back (original) case is in very
fine overall condition. A real stunning example!

This
vintage, all original and correct 1942 ROLEX AVIATORS
watch named the "ROLEX SKYROCKET" was produced
for Canadian soldiers going overseas in WW2 and was marketed
towards fighter pilots. This particular example is the
earliest and first version with sub-seconds, as opposed
to sweep seconds. The original, sparkling 29.5mm. sterling
silver case with original dust proof winding crown, stepped
bezel, made by PIONEER case company for ROLEX is in glistening
and stellar condition. We just had the case rhodium plated...gleaming
like platinum...so, the silver will not tarnish over the
years. Rolex rhodium plated (out of the factory) many
of their sterling cases...it wears off over time... we
completed an expensive and thick plating that should last
a lifetime! The original and signed ROLEX caseback is
stainless steel. This watch was worn in WW2 overseas,
as confirmed from the original family from whom we obtained
it. These watches were small in stature; so, please don't
buy it if you don't want a smaller sized watch. They were
made smaller do reduce the chance of damaging them while
fighting. The original dial on this SKYROCKET has some
usual ageing, lending to its' authenticity and vintage
appeal. Notice the red, 24 hour register, original, radium,
blued steel pencil hands and sub-seconds. The manual winding
caliber 59 ROLEX movement (correctly signed ROLEX under
the dial) is sparkling and keeping accurate time after
a recent cleaning by our watchmaker. We have installed
a 1940's suede band to complete the vintage look. We simply
are not seeing these watches appear as of late. Most dials
have been refinished, which greatly reduces their value.
An original sub-seconds ROLEX SKYROCKET for only $1595!

produced by the ROLEX watch company in 1943.The
OYSTER stainless steel case is quite nice...sparkling
without dings or scratches! The original OYSTER
PATENT winding crown still functioning very well.

excellent time. The dial is spectacular...all original...gold
mirrored track.....Arabic numerals red sweep seconds,

steel. stretch bracelet, which fits comfortably
while complimenting the watch quite nicely. These

as this! $1395.
