Can anyone tell me if Waltham made the canteen style UDT wristwatch, the style that has the screw over crown with the chain ? I know Elgin and Hamilton make the canteen style , but never knew Waltham made them . I came across a Waltham type A-17 canteen style watch, has all the proper military markings on the back. I am considering buying it. |

Isn't A-17 an airforce spec? Sounds suspicious. |

I found out it was a A-17 watch converted to a canteen style . It was on ebay item#250059628055, check it out, you won't believe your eyes on what it sold for !!! It's a neat looking watch, but I don't think I'd pay that much for something converted. thanks. |
