Japan Weems
When is it appropriate to wear the title of "Collector"? I have never called myself a collector, but I seem to buy more watches than I need.
Case in point, who needs three Longines Weems? Who needs three military Japanese Weems?
My latest one is a bit more unique than the other two. It's a night mission IJN Weems. Radium dial Weems are very rare.
Also, this particular watch was on exhibition at the United States The Watch and Clock Museum in Columbus PA.
And since it is Christmas.

Thank you all for your enthusiasm!
These watches are not for everyone, I am appreciate everyone sharing their comments. My hopes are that these IJN Weems become more well known.
These are wonderful.
I was able to see one at a Phillips auction and play with it a bit. I totally get your fascination.
In Geneva at Phillips at a preview.
I believe it was sold in NY this year. It doesn’t have the Japanese markings on the back though but looks similar to yours.
