United States Army gathered in Munich, Germany for a basketball
tournament. The 1st Infantry Division won the division level
championship. Each of those 17 players were awarded with a Universal
Geneve Compax, the backs of which were engraved with:Division Level Basketball Champions1946USFET-------DetailsSerial Number (Case): 875679Serial Number (Movement): 176940Movement: Universal Geneve 281Case Size: 33.8mmLug Width: 18mmServiceThe

one year warranty from that date. The service consisted of fully
disassembling the movement, inspecting and cleaning all parts,
reassembly, lubrication and adjustment. During this service, the
mainspring was replaced (original included). The original crystal was
cracked and discolored, so it was also replaced (original included).
This watch arrived to us with the pusher buttons missing, but the tubes
intact. We fabricated new pusher buttons to fit the original pusher
tubes that are as close to the originals as possible. This watch has
also been equipped with a new leather strap. DocumentationIncluded
with this watch is an original brochure from one of the basketball
games in the series. This brochure details the team standings, lists the
teams and their members, and has pictures of the teams and players. We
also obtained a document from the National Archives detailing the
activities that were available to members of the armed forces in early
1946. This document references the basketball games and the 1st Infantry
Division's win streak. We had this document printed into a hard cover
book to accompany the watch. -----Price includes shipping within the continental United States via
