I have pictures of the case, dust cover and movement.

Here is a description:
This is a vintage W.W. II British military issue CYMA WWW wristwatch from 1941. This is a nice piece to give as gift or for your daily use.

This watch has undergone a COMPLETE overhaul, looks amazing, is running strong and is keeping good time. So you just saved yourself about $200 or more elsewhere to have this done.

This was made by CYMA of Switzerland when they were still Tavannes-Cyma

This watch has a near mint condition black dial.

The large stainless steel case is in excellent condition.

The crystal looks nearly brand new and has no noticeable flaws!

This watch has an anti-magnetic inner dust cover as well as a stainless steel screw down back case.

This watch has full military markings inside and outside of the back case.

These marking include the British War Department Arrow, "W.W.W." (Wrist Watch Waterproof) and "P15770 20770".

This watch is signed 3 times on the case, dial and movement. It measures 38 mm wide not including the crown, 45 mm from lug to lug, and 12 mm thick with domed crystal water clear (Huge Watch!).

It comes with a brand new, never used, military green (OD) NATO G10 style military band, perfect for this collector’s item.

The movement is a 15 Jewels Cal 234 manual winding nickel plated movement. It is in outstanding condition and is keeping good time. The serial number for this movement is 374373.

If you are a serious vintage military watch collector, or this is the first of your future collection, do not miss the chance to own such a beautiful piece in very good condition. As you may know, early military watches are getting harder to come by. It is even harder to find one that is in this condition. This piece is a MUST HAVE in any military watch collection.

Many manufacturers supplied www watches to the MoD but most were chrome plated cases with steel backs. Few, except the Cyma were made entirely of steel. The difference is dramatic. Chrome plated cases will not survive refurbishing or buffing of any kind and they have a much shorter lifespan.

Thanks for looking
It is on Ebay now, but if you are interested, I can end the auction early.
