 I recently purchased here in the UK an Elgin HS3 Deck Watch marked with a British War Dept crows foot issue mark. It comes complete with its Mahogany fitted box. Having removed the back to reveal the serial number, I have established its date of manufacture as 1942 (thanks to the Elfin Watches.org web site)

The watch and case are mint/immaculate such that this item has, in my opinion, never been issued for service. My question is, how can this be so? Where has this watch been for the last 67 years? Was there a policy of long-term storage either in the US or here?

The barrel movement is of bright damascened material and is signed with B.W.Raymond and with all the other appropiate markings. I do hope it's not a fake?
