Having trouble pinning this EM watch down,
As usual the specials magazine has little information regarding the watch
The Hanhart lemania and tutima Glashutte WW2 tend to have skeleton hands and two sub dials, so are unlike this one, which looks like a French type 20 like the Breguet,
So what is this WW2 Luftwaffe Pilot chronograph? Of course the extra dial could be a red herring as are the sword hands ?
The only other bit of information is that it had a Swiss 281 movement, so it is possible they were actually Universal Geneva and not German made at all

So I'm back to being 5 reviews behind again, where does the time go?
Mrs Wife has been signed off work for another 3 months so I'm not going to get my workshop back until Easter at the earliest
Two little things delivered today, less than 30 mm, down in the smallest 5 of the whole collection.
76 American Airman
I so wanted this to be a 40mm+ watch, love the function filled dial, but the original, the Gallet Commander Chronograph was only 29mm so can't complain really, those pilots must have really good eyesight to read this though, especially as the original had sub dials too.
77 German Women's Auxiliary
Another "Woman in War" watch, right after the issue 74 British Nurse. And even smaller than that, not quite the smallest though, still yet another Swiss made WW2 rail track dial, ""

Morning. I like those new mwc watches. Much better than the same case with a slightly different dial!

afternoon guys so bit cloudy and wet here but took mom for a walk got a bit of shopping but ..
bad news with the yema think going to need a full services so can't afford that at the minute so think will have to sell it cheap as it wont cost me that much that way ... so if any one is looking for a fixer upper give me a shout .... getting the square sekonda under control down to 9 mins out so one more shot and might do it ,,,
so still with the old pulsar diver will need to do a pic at some point been on now since early December and have not had the feel to need to change it wonder how long it will stay on (well did put on a mwc for doing the diy but as soon as finished painting each day) it goes back on so even leave it on for some of the diy too ..just not painting / plastering![]()
