Comments about G.I. Vietnam Era Type Wind-Up Watch:

Yep, probably off by a minute or two a day just like my issue watch. Synchronizing your watch with others was important because they ALL lost or gained time.

My final choice was between this and a used version from the Vietnam era original issue for about 10 dollars. I finally chose this watch based on its looks and what I read. [...]
