Hi guys, I got this awhile back and I always wondered if it was a Dienstuhr despite the lack of a "DH" but then I read somewhere that German made watches weren't marked that way and I believe "Roxy" was a German watch maker. Sorry for the poor photos, it's marked "DRGM" "edelstahlboden", "665375". Any thoughts?

No, not a Dienstuhr, as the backplate is not military spec, which has indents along the rim for the special wrench. Only the Swiss made watches got the DH mark. -
might better pictures will help.
from what I can see the fron is ok to me, might the back cover is a different one????Comment

Yeah, those photos were awful, sorry about that. Here's some hopefully better ones. I've never seen "Roxy" listed as being a Dienstuhr, so maybe it's just a sports watch from the era. Either way I'm pleased with it and I get compliments about it whenever I wear it. I'd almost rather it wasn't so I wouldn't feel guilty about wearing it, haha. I had it serviced and I think I remember the man saying that the "glass" was actually plastic, so it might have been reworked at some point.Comment

Not your common dh but most likely Luftwaffe issue., nice robust watch. I have an exact same one that was issued to a LW Feldwebel in 1943(soldbuch entry). It has a serial number very close to the one you have.Last edited by WWII Buff; 05-24-2014, 02:22 PM.Comment

Just to let you know it will have a nice German made shock proof gilt movement(Durowe D202). There are quite a few examples of this type of watch with different makers names using this movement, Page, Stowa etc. In fact I have just snagged one on USA ebay for the princely sum of $15. Will add it to the thread when it arrives here in Blighty.Comment
