Cub Scouts watch with calendar by Timex Corp.
I don't know the date of this watch but would guess 1970's, because I have had it over 30 years.
Thanks for looking,
Dave

Mid 60's to the early 70's Dave. I had this style when I was a "CUB". That was around 1964-65.
Thanks BELLIN68, Kerry & thisoldwatch for the appreciation.
Dave
Thanks Kerry,
This was not mine since I wasn't in the Cub Scouts. Besides, my cub scout years would have been the early 50's.
Dave
LOL, I still have a couple of things from the Cub scout, not the watch mind you. It's been long gone. I was guessing at the date of when I would have been in, I remember we'd meet at a church basement a few blocks away and it burned down around 64-65.
Thanks mustangtony for the appreciation.

I remember seeing this, the BSA watch and Eagle Scout watch in the BSA catalog back in the 1970s, but never had any though I am a lapsed collector of wristwatches and am a Life Scout.
Thanks PostRetro for the information and the appreciation.
