That's a fascinating post-production run - and a great looking watch. My 992B dates from 1951 and has a Montgomery dial:

but so hard to find one in good condition.

I don't mind admitting, dalarry, when I saw this and read your post I said out loud to myself "that... is absoloutly wonderful."
I did a little searching online and there are a couple out there in surprisingly good condition, but none of them are quite as pristine as this.

Will would you like me to take care of it for you. No charge. I have a secure house and it would be safe until you want it back. Honestly.

Same age as me Will.

Obviously a good year! We were living in Glasgow in 1951 - our last year there before returning to Lancashire...
