Nice enough watch. I see no indication of it being an award? Am I missing something?

No Medals73, I don't think it was an award, I just wanted to share.

Re: Were Watches Ever Given As Awards?

Nice condition. Looks almost brand new.

Forgive me for going somewhat off-topic, but the attached is something I really like. If it were just in better condition, specifically the face, I'd be all over it like Beef on Weck!

I would love that watch, as is! It would look great with a nice antique leather band.

Eric, you're beginning to show your WNY

Next you'll want to slather it with Miller's Horseradish !

Back on topic, red riding breeches were a functional award given during the early days.

I'm glad somebody caught that. Oh yeah, horseradish! The god of condiments. I made horsey sauce just today for our prime rib night.
