You seem determined to ignore the long experianced collectors about this pocket watch....
The watch is undoubtedly period.....but the face plate is a total fake! There is ABSOLUTELY NO WAY the SS Runes & Totenkopf are period....they've been done and aged to make the watch more valueable....seems they've found one "believer"....(I was going to say "sucker"....but don't mean to be offensive)
You received the same reply on the AHF as you have here....maybe on a watch forum where they know NOTHING ABOUT MILITARIA or SS you may find a fellow "believer", but I doubt you'll find any here!
This is just an old German pocket watch....the rest is fantasy!

I would never ignore any input, and i respect the more experienced collectors, all i am saying is, it is quite possible that the faceplate on the watch was put on by someone for a member of the SS, it could have been for a promotion or commemoration, the decals are part of that face plate, in fact they were printed to it, decades ago.Originally posted by Mainemilitaria View Post
When the specialist watchmakers WHO RESEARCH ITEMS OF HISTORY FULLY deliberate on it i will post the details link here,
remember you already denonced that old alarm clock as being a fantasy piece to up the value by the Eastern Europeans, over on the Axis forum, and you have still failed to say you got it wrong, so please be fair where due, the fact is you you turned out to be 100 percent wrong about the clock, anyone interested please read this link on it, very interesting history on the eagle.
LINK IS HERE PLEASE READ

honestly their is a very good chance this watch is legitimate and a concentration camp museum took interest in it, if it's not genuine then no serious hassle, it's very artistic and if you had it to hand you would feel the history in it, all joking aside it is not your ordinary run of the mill fake,that if it is fake, watch specialists are looking at it.
