I have been researching and collecting these watches and data and for over 4 decades.

If you collect any of these, have an interest in them, or care to report any additional serial numbers, info or pictures, I would like to hear from you. Thanks.

Jon,
Great pic. and a truly rare and unusual watch, first picture I have ever seen of one. How about putting up an Otay one for us to see?

[Jon Hanson]

but later, after the day's auction!

Incidentally, I discovered (1973) the very first San Jose watch (Chamberlain stated that no watches were made!).

Otay's have been one of my favorites--you know, being a Calif. native........... :biggrin:

Simply fantastic but I wish the other readers could see this one in person like I have.

Thanks again for the fabulous watch pictures here and on 149.
