watches issued with 19 set?
A loacl wireless collector explained it to me as: the watches were issued to the individual rather than the radio set to ensure accountability. Naturally no-one left their watch in the holder for the next operator to "borrow" since the supply system would charge (probably in both senses) them for the loss. Since nobody was using the watch holders, they were ordered discontinued, removed when broken, which happened easily enough given the brittle nature of bakelite.
I haven't seen documentation of this, but it seems reasonable.
