It´s a pity that all your models are sold. Is there a way to be notified when you get a new piece? Thanks

[@craftandtailored]

I was issued one in the mid 70s. Still running great. Been serviced 3 times. Maintenance, maintenance, maintenance

[@onyxnova]

where can you have the maintenance done? I have one, and I need the service for this watch

[@lcdrhobiesaunders446]

I have one issued to me in 1980s, and it’s still ticking!

[@leftyplay]

Fantastic watches, real issued Milsubs and so undervalued!

[@craftandtailored]

Totally agree with you here! I think they will continue to climb in pricing no doubt!

[@lcdrhobiesaunders446]

I still wear my issue type II daily!

[@RaymundLM]

Thanks for making this video. Makes me appreciate my father’s watch more and the history of it

[@craftandtailored]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@adbraham]

“Mono clock” case? Did I hear you correctly? Do you mean monocoque?

[@SoCalWatchReviews]

Thanks for the history lesson! Awesome watch man.

Great video! I just found your channel and I’m now subscribed.

Great video, I recently found my dads Benrus and was looking for any info on it. He was a naval pilot and found this watch going through some of his old stuff. It still runs, but it needs a new strap, could you recommend where to find a new strap for it?

Cool vid Cam 👍🏻

[@craftandtailored]

Thanks Man!! Appreciate the Support!

[@7rslender]

Very cool watch. What do you think of MK II's take on it? The Paradive.

[@craftandtailored]

I think they are super cool!! I think they are a great homage to the originals which can be quite difficult to find!

[@stefanobio7045]

Thanks for an excellent review and posting this video....i prefer military watches i owned a CWC SBS quartz for over 20 years and now currently wearing an Elliot Brown Holton professional quartz.....best regards, Stefano.

[@craftandtailored]

Super cool thanks for sharing! love mil Issued watches myself as well!

[@frankjansen7590]

Is it a springbar if it’s fixed and there is no spring in the bar? Not trying to be a smartass just wondering if there is another term for these components...

[@AleFairchild]

Its actually called fixed lug bars or strap bars. Not sure why experts keep referring to these as springbars either

[@bretmoore4988]

I have a type 2 Class A april 1973

[@dg-ew3ss]

Too many type 2 and homages out there the profit/service margin is essentially non-existence. I would save up and look for a type 1 (non-sterile) its going to appreciate so much more.

[@brianwilson9828]

Why would you NOT have the lum refreshed? Cool watch but the hands are garbage! And I know you paid good money for it!

[@craftandtailored]

I like keeping things original and in their found condition especially when it comes to watches with a historical value

[@AleFairchild]

@@craftandtailored actually and realistically, these things would get relumed and continue service in real world military usage, after all its a critical function. In service it is called "jimmy rigging" to get the job done or else refurbished to get it serviceable. You will find many equipment modified, reconditioned, rebuilt as used in the forces. If u end up with a nice example " as found" then the piece probably saw little relative action and therefore its provenance is limited compared with a rigged but functional piece or even a service refurbished piece. The user probably sat a taxpayer provided military desk and either shuffled papers all day or barked orders, or both.
