I have been looking for an A-11 Elgin watch for a while but I am not willing to pay 400 plus. I found this one at a Flea market and bought it for 125. The band is crap but the watch runs good. The back is very hard to read but under a loop it says Type A-11 Spec. No. 94-27834 Se ???9-1434 M No. 1783 ORD. No. W535AC-2805 Elgin. Any help on the history of this watch appreciated. Thanks.

Yes these A-11s were US military spec for ww2.
