From Trash To Treasure : 1940's WW2 Navy Titus Bumper Automatic Restored

Is it a military issued watch? From what I can tell, it is! This watch has certainly seen some action in it's lifetime, and has some pretty interesting modifications that may stem from it being a government issued watch. As seen with the Solvil from the 50's, the acrylic crystal had degraded to the point of off-gassing, which caused some corrosion on the dial. Thankfully the ratchet wheel was signed with the Titus name! Titus was a brand originally founded by Paul Ditisheim. Paul Ditisheim isn't a well known name, but his accomplishments in furthering horology as well as his numerous award winning watches put him (in my opinion) alongside the likes of Patek Philippe, Rolex and any other big name you can think of.
