Oversized 41mm w/22mm lugs Helvetia, propeller logo scratched off likely done by a British soldier (got it in the UK early 90s). That makes this one a scavenged war trophy.

Has a snap caseback that upon removal, reveals a secondary hinged caseback.

This is one of two variations I have had forever. Keeps accurate time!

This is the other half of the oversized Helvetia twins.

Scooped this one up in Prague many decades ago. Found a NOS glass crystal for it. Never bothered to replace the missing radium in the hands.

41mm w/o crown
22mm lugs
Amazing pigskin sorta Nato strap with pot metal hardware.

It's an aesthetic delight.

@Eunomians . . . . all I see here is Rolex, Rolex, Rolex, Rolex, Rolex, Rolex, Rolex, which is why I have become numb to this post and the marque in general. And then, once in a while, there's someone like you, who shows us a real vintage watch that just kills it!
Thank you for sharing. I'm always looking for vintage pieces in the usual places, but most of them are 34, 35, or 37mm in diameter. Once in a blue moon I find one in 38, but even that it too small for my taste. Finding one in 41 is like winning the lottery, and you did it twice!
Congratulations!
