*******************************

DURING THE VIETNAM WAR, WIDE LEATHER "CUFF" BAND WATCH STRAPS WERE POPULAR. IT ALL BEGAN WITH THE HIPPIE GENERATION, THEN IT WENT BIKER, THEN WENT "GRUNT".

THOUGH THE U.S. GOVERNMENT ISSUED WATCHES SUCH AS THE BENRUS MIL-W-38188, THESE WERE ISSUED ONLY TO CERTAIN PERSONAL ON A LIMITED BASIS.

MOST SOLDIERS SERVED WITH THEIR OWN PERSONAL WATCHES. AND THE WATCH BECAME ONE OF THE FEW "PERSONAL" ITEMS SOLDIERS HAD TO REMIND THEM OF HOME. OR THE FREE WORLD. 

IN THE OSCAR WINNING MOVIE PLATOON, JOHNNY DEPP, AS LERNER, WORE A WIDE LEATHER CUFF --WHICH HE STILL OWNS AND WEARS TODAY.

ALSO IN THE MOVIE PLATOON,   CHARLIE SHEEN IS ON WATCH DURING THE FIST SCENE WERE HE IS ON AN IN A AMBUSH PATROL. HE LOOKS DOWN TO HIS WATCH AND BEGINS WIPING THE CRYSTAL TRYING TO READ THE TIME. WE CAN SEE THE WATCH AND SEE THAT IT IS A STAINLESS STEEL 6602-8040 WITH WHITE DIAL AND NO DATE.

IN THE VIETNAM MOVIE Apocalypse Now, MARTIN SHEEN WORE A 6105-8110/8119 SEIKO DIVERS WATCH.

THUS, THIS BENRUS, DESIGNED TO  THE SAME SPECIFICATIONS AS THE BENRUS MIL-W-38188 EXCEPTING THIS MODEL IS ALL STAINLESS STEEL, HAS BEEN SET-UP JUST LIKE MANY WERE DURING THE VIETNAME WAR; WITH AN AWESOME, ROCK FINISHED, WIDE LEATHER CUFF.

THIS 1968 BENRUS HAS THE IDENTICAL DIAL AS THE BENRUS MADE FOR
DIRECT US MILITARY ISSUE EXCEPTNG THAT THE LUME IS THICKER
AND THE SECONDS HAD HAS A RED ARROW.

THE CASE IS EXACTLY LIKE THE BENRUS MILITARY ISSUE, EXCEPT THIS
PX MODEL IS ALL STAINLESS STEEL AND NOT ANODIZED OR PARKERIZED
IN FACT, 80% OF ALL WATCHES WORN BY TROOPS WERE ON THIS TYPE.
SEIKO DIVE, ZODIAC SEA WOLF, BULOVA AND OTHERS WERE POPULAR.
MOST WERE STAINLESS STEEL. IN THE MOVIE PLATOON CHARLIE SHEEN IS
ON WATCH IN A AMBUSH PATROL. HE LOOKS DOWN TO HIS WATCH AND BEGINS
WIPING THE CRYSTAL TRYING TO READ THE TIME. WE SEE THE WATCH AND IT
IS A STAINLESS STEEL SEIKO PERSONAL WRIST WATCH1

CONDITION IS EXCELLENT

THIS BENRUS IS ATTACHED TO
AN AWESOME VINTAGE PERIOD  WIDE LEATHER STRAP

WITH STEEL RINGS
ROLLER BUCKLE
DUAL TONGUE AND HOLES
THIS CUFF STRAP LOOK IS RIGHT OUT OF
THE MID 1960'S

THE STAP HAS BEEN "ROKERIZED"

UNLESS STATED OTHERWISE all watches offered by GSW have been SERVICED. Some required REPAIR AND RESTORATION!

RESTORATION is a separate service from SERVICING and may include CRYSTAL, DIAL, HANDS, CASE, LUGS and BAND.
