The 12 brands are: (from top left): Vertex, Timor, Lemania, JLC, (mid left): CYMA, Record, Omega, Longines, (bottom left): Grana, IWC, Eterna and Buren. The Grana is the rarest among the 12. I was not actually actively looking to complete the set, they sort of just came along as time goes by.

The obsession started before internet became popular as they were much more affordable then and the OCD got a bit out of hand at one stage, LOL.

Wow, this is great! I instantly recognize the IWC and Longines but ignorant to the other brands!

Horological journalist should be doing a coverage on your precious set of collection!

If I may suggest, it will give us great pleasure if you could start a separate thread in the vintage section to talk more about your collection and how you have come to acquire them over time.

Thank you for sharing!

I nearly fell off my chair  :o :o. I joined a military watch GTG in Hong Kong about a year ago and don't recall seeing so many of these issued watches from all the participants put together!!!  :laugh: :laugh:

More pics please.... :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Add: It looks like you a just came out of a poker game with a whole company of soldiers using these watches as chips and you sapu everything... :laugh: :laugh:

Thank you all for showing interests in my little collection. One bonus about collecting military watches is the occasional opportunity to buy them in bulk from surplus warehouses for little money and the feeling is as good as the winning chips in pocket games! For an aspiring hobbyist watchmaker, this also presents god sent opportunity to practice the skill.

These w.w.w watches were not exactly rare, except for Grana, ten of thousands were delivered at the end of 1945, so all did not see the actions of the war.  Picture below is an extract from Knirim's book showing the estimated/archived production figures of each brand. And for this reason, Grana is currently the most sought after and commands the highest price. 

(Knirim book British Military Timepieces)


This one from Cyma has the inspector date stamped on the back of the dial.


Some of them were latter re-assigned with NATO dials, including IWC, Omega, Record and Timor and my favourite is this one;
