Default Model A wrist watch
Has anyone ever seen a watch like this? It's an A radiator with ford emblem and is battery powered. I've never seen one and google turns up minimal info. I'm just wondering where it came from originally. Thanks

If you can post a pic of the back of the watch I may be able to. Help identify it...is there anything on the back?

Miyota movements are made by Citizen in Japan and is a very popular movement used by many watch manufacturers, being that it is a Quartz movement with battery it is not going to be that old....it is cool though...

It was offered in the MAFCA newsletter probably 20 years ago.
It came in a nice round black box. And yes I have one

Marcus. I will attempt to find her name from a friend that bought the bow tie one. I did not buy because I figured with the battery it was not very old and I thought it was made up for the show. I do know her name was Sylvia as I joked with her that she looked like my sister in law whose name is Sylvia. Regards, Wayne
