WW2 Corps of Signals Pocket Watch

[David Dunlop]

Anyone have an idea what one of these is worth these days, either the black or white faced ones? I'm not that fussy, just as long as it fits in the watch holder on the 19-Set and looks good doing so.

There are a few currently on eBay, mostly Walthams or 'Unknowns', but I am reluctant to get involved with a bidding war without more background information. One buyer appears to have picked up about 17 of them over the past few months, but no sign of them reselling, unless a different seller's name is being used.

There also seems to be two distinct types of military pocket watch issued. A 'standard' one, and one for signal's personnel with a longer stem to clear the pocket watch holder on the Wireless Sets.
