On the back it had an engraving that I initially did not pay much attention to at first. I recently had the watch service and I took an interest in the graving. The watch belonged to a former West Point cadet and retired brigadier general Paul Paschal. I still can’t believe this watch was almost scrapped for gold. It brings me a lot of joy to look at it and wear it. Thought some folks might appreciate this watch here as well.
