Is this a legitimate Elgin military?
I've been collecting parts to put together an Elgin A-11. I've also been studying other A-11s on Ebay. Item # 220836213889 is unlike any WWII watch I've seen yet. It has a new looking case, a nice grade 532 (Y591919) but the black dial puts the stem at 6. It's marked U.S.Navy at 12 and Property at 6 in curved white letters. There is no pic of the back. Is this a construction or a real rare variant of the A-11? Joel

question about straps
Hey guys just purchased a new Jazzmaster viewmatic with the dark brown strap, very pleased with it. I had a quick question though. I recently saw the viewmatic from an AD that had a light brown, almost tan strap with DB and I can't seem to find the strap anywhere. Do any of you guys know of a website that carries them, I contacted an AD nearby and they can't seem to locate it. Any help would be much appreciated.

Reaction to Rolexes
I am new to the hobby, but currently own 2 watches, a 116610LN and a Breitling Navitimer 01. Not that I care or am even concerned with the perceptions or opinions of others, but I find it funny that 90% of people won¡¯t comment or notice the Rolex, but a good portion notice the Breitling and comment on it being a ¡°nice watch¡± and if I tell them what it is, they typically have never heard of Breitling. On the other hand, the watch no one notices, they typically only notice when they see the Rolex at the top. Just an observation I found amusing somewhat.
