Only watch I have ever owned in my 68 years .... bought for me by my wife to celebrate me going solo in gliders ..... as far as I recall I've never worn it outside a flying day ..... just went and ferreted it out of the back of a drawer where it's languished since I stopped flying 30 years ago !

Ideal Morgan watch ....timeless, traditional, understated and does the job

Well that's a shocker ....just went in the interwebbby and saw the price of these new!! ..... nearly fell off my chair .... thing has sat dirty and unloved at the back of its drawer .... if someone had offered me 30 quid for it I'd have said 'ok, not like I ever use it' ! spend


DO NOT SELL THAT WATCH until getting a proper evaluation !! Is it an issued one ? I have the re-issue but would love a first gen issued example. Please post image of the back



There you go Bonesie ...... had a chat to my wife and she seems to remember it was from an Army Surplus place out of Exchange and Mart ..... was just a random silly gift and was a few pounds ..... will be keeping it as it's got sentimental value (from the golden days when I could glide silently under fluffy cumulus clouds on endless sunny afternoons.....and my wife still bought me random gifts rofl ) ....wound it earlier and it just started up and keeping perfect time .... they make a decent watch those Swiss lads smile

PS ....for the non-UK members Exchange and Mart was a buy and sell publication that we swooped on weekly pre-internet ..... imagine filling your printer with cheap newspaper and printing off ebay and you pretty well have it smile
