Rare Elgin Military Dial ! ! !
Hey guys !I picked up this SWEET Elgin Trench Watch at the NAWCC Convention over the weekend. I just got finished putting it all back together a few minutes ago and I wanted to post my results. Elgin made a TON of size 3/0s trench watches but very few were made like this one. Your probably saying to yourself "this looks just like a bunch of other ones that Stan has done", but take a very close look! This is a size 0s Elgin military dial ! ! ! It's a true 28.94mm enamel dial, this is very rare and it's the first one that I have ever seen in a size 0s, in this style. This is a VERY common dial for size 3/0s trench watches but NOT size 0s.

I focused on some independents, some custom pieces, IWC, AP, Omega, Germans and others. Basically, I carefully collect what hits that nerve!I was smitten with the 5524G when it was introduced. I decided then, that I would own one, but would hold off and commemorate the sale of my business with this piece one day. At that moment, there was no specific timetable. Pleased to report the business transaction was finalized very recently...so...5524G here I come!I was able to find one (NIB) at an appropriate price with little drama. I picked it up today and am very pleased. The watch has been reviewed, discussed, photographed, by so many collectors and enthusiasts that I won't do so here. But I will share my first impressions, hours old now.The size, weight and wrist presence is a perfect match for my taste. I wear mostly sport/pilot/dive watches and am com
