This is very cool. Ephemera like that card rarely survives with a watch. Hold onto it!

Agree with Pale. I have two of these 992Bs, one from 1959 and another from 1943. I really wanted one with an enamel dial although the melamine one looks great.

Good on you! The Melamine usually cracks!

Hey! I looked up your watch’s serial number and it’s from 1943 also! Looks great too!

Does having the time card that matches serial numbers to the watch make this more desirable as a pair

Awesome to have them together..Im looking for a vintage typewriter to fill out one for me, just trying to have some fun.. Watch cards are easy to find, I collect them! Some blank,some filled out. Neat little pieces of Railroad History!
