some times the thread goes pop
Yes the Pamela was a dude thread, info I had was doctor, Sheffield married name Bailey. So I'm back on the search, but then came across a website called Heir Hound, this told me that Susan Elizabeth Bailey Died 13th August 2013 in Sheffield a spinster, born 22 may 1943
I'm sorry to spread this news for some who knew them. Is the other sister alive? did she have children? If so please inform them to contact Heir Hound.
Back to the watch in question and I have more questions.
Does anyone know (town/Parish)were James (jimmy) Harrison was born in 1918?
Is their anyone alive that knew him personally, that might remember the watch?
Did AVRO engrave their dials then paint the numbers in?
The questions that have been asked....The 6B is pilot/Navigator the 346 is a specification, astral navigation quality hacking movement. Basically the very best that the Swiss could make at the time, the 6B/346 mark 11 JLC has arguably the best movement every to come from Switzerland
The 172/49 number is, 172 is the military case number ref mark, the case is numbered 72 on the case back and lug. The 49 is the issued date 1949
