Timing of eBay auction

Ah, ok, need to look for this as well! Thanks!

Congrats! Mine arrived yesterday but haven’t managed to post an NWA (and my pictures will not look as good as yours, I‘m afraid).

One thing, though: I have changed the strap after 2 hours or so wearing it. The original is just too stiff and I‘m not patient enough to wait for it breaking in.

Overall, a beauty and wears very nicely!

This is a burner!

Thanks for taking the time to put this exhaustive list together!

Yes, this is correct! There is a version of the Airman called The Purist which does not have a GMT hand. With this version, the hour hand is going around in 24 hours. But this is not the case for the GMT version you see here.

Had to learn as well: if it has a GMT (= fourth) hand, it is a 12 hour watch.
