There was an earlier thread on watches.
http://www.mapleleafup.org/forums/sh...ad.php?t=11740

To briefly cover it, no, the 19 set was not issued with a watch. At least with the British, Canadian & US sets. I was told that the Italian kits came with one.

As Dennis said they had a tendency to go walk about. Also wrist watches were starting to be be issued to the troops rather than pocket watches. The watch had a VAOS number which is a stores number. Manufacturers made watches to meet the spec so you never new what brand/marking you got.
