Some of you may have heard that a wrecked Spitfire was recently found in the English Channel and brought to the surface. It was indeed Paddy Finnucane's plane. He was shot down early in the war after a raid in France. In a jar under the seat was this watch which appears to have been the prototype for B&R, though the hands and dial face are quite different. If I were a guessing person, I'd guess Peter Gunny inherited the strap design because this one looks remarkably like his--and if anything even more beautiful than his Le Mans style, but specially fabricated fir a B&R.
