1968 Glycine Airman with box & Vietnam history - C-141 Pilot's watch
$1,776.00
This is a 1968 Glycine Airman 17j 24-hour watch that belonged to USAF veteran Don Dressel of Marietta GA. One owner, bought in 1970. I bought this watch from the man who bought it from him. Mr. Dressel was a transport pilot who flew the Lockheed C-141 Starlifter from Norton AFB in San Bernadino CA to SE Asia every week.
Movement is an AS 1903, watch was serviced at least once, weight replaced with one marked "Winton Watch Co".
Movement is currently unserviced but is fully functional.
Non-hacking, wire is missing, aperture is present in the dial.
Date quickset works as it should
Locking crown for 24-hour bezel works, bezel is very stiff
Lume is somewhat darkened but is intact
Dial & hands are the standard non-”special” type. I’m not sure if it is a replacement dial or correct, I am not not an authority on these and the watch has had work done in the past
Crystal is in good shape
Bracelet is a 60s / 70s generic aftermarket with "bar" type links, comes with one extra link
Box is original period correct
