Hello,
Being a bit of a watch buff but also a World war 2 nerd, I have started to look around a bit for different issue watches. I know the Germans had some, like the so-called "B-Uhr" for the Luftwaffe, but how was it in Commonwealth? Did they have any issue watches of their own or did they wear private purchase watches, within for example the RAF or within Commando units?
I have googled a bit, but all I seem to find are "Military" watches, in other words watches made to look military without any real historical connection.
Any pictures or model names would be very interesting!
Best regards,
Lars
