If you have a dial for this case, I would love to buy it from you. Top dollar paid. I have a NOS case and excellent 10BZ movement...but alas no dial....sure would be great to find one! Keep your eyes peeled in some of thois dial lots and if you see one, buy it and I'll buy this dial from you at a more then reasonable price. Thanks! Rob

I've already added this to the "What Is It" forum under "Douglas? I Don't Think So"
To me, it looks similar to the Blackhawk model only rectangular.
Check it out!! Newly seen ad out of Canada.... shows the 1945 "Patriot"!! Looks like a square President with a common Conrad type dial...

Hour and Minute Hands are Gilt Modern style and a Gilt Modern Seconds Hand shows on a sub Dial completely obscuring the 6. Caseback is Gold and stamped as shown. Re-named 4 -5 times within the span of less than a Decade this Model is a real 'humdinger'

I bought a M9 Oceanographer with the Gold bezel. Watch case was very dirty, but the movement ran and kept time. To clean it, I removed the movement which involved taking the stem/crown out. I losened the stem set screw and pulled. There was a little resistance and a click. Now I can get the stem all the way in, but the watch will not run. Hands will set, and watch will run for a few seconds. What did I do wrong? Is there a fix??
Thanks Ken S
Case back is signed inside and out and marked 10k gold filled. All hands and numbers are raised gilt signature on dial is black. Dial needs restoring. Watch runs but it is wierd, it runs normal and then slows down almost to a stop and starts back up normal again.Back is also gold filled.
