Howdy all, I've been looking through my many collections lately and happened on this in my Seiko
stash! It's pretty self explanatory so I'll only say he was a 43rd engineers attached to 8th Army in
the Pacific. They made over 60 landings and oversaw Japan during the postwar period.
The watch is a genuine Japanese WWII issue Seiko and is smaller than a nickel. All the
engraving was done by hand with a vibrator engraver. I believe the aluminum bands
are aircraft skin and the rivets likewise. The only thing I'm not showing you is the
name rank and service number inside the bands.
Best wishes!
