That is an interesting looking piece. The case seems a little different to most RCAF styles.
Do you have any history on the watch? Do you have detailed photos of the movement?
Cheers,

@RCAFBuster These look to be fascinating watches but are something that I know nothing about and I don't think I've even seen before.

If you are able to get your hands on one, would you be able to tell us a little about it and add some good photographs as a useful reference?

Hi Mazoue,
Yes, a good example still eludes me, but when I find one I will provide details and photos.
Cheers,
Buster

Would these UG case backs fit the Rodania cases ?
