Inside The Restoration Of A World War II Hamilton 37500 Cockpit Clock
New York City based-watchmaker Aaron Berlow specializes in restoration of vintage timepieces.

Help with a ref. number on AP watch

Unfortunately, I didn't win the auction, but I really liked that watch so now I'm looking for another but so far I have not been able to find just a single picture of an identical watch, even after several hours of Googling. I was hoping that maybe one of you could help me with a reference number or maybe even a name. I have tried emailing Bruun-Rasmussen, but they haven't replied.

Thank You Chadri
What a guy. Has really become a great pal over the years. I tend to be a RubberB guy. He has said good things about Everest. Because I put my SubC bracelet on the BLNR I wanted to do rubber on my sub. He suggested I try his green one. He also suggested I could keep it if I like it. What a guy!!Turns out I love it. Didn’t think I would. But the green makes it super fun and playful. Thanks my friend. Made my day.
