    Jimmy, you completed it with the missing models with Lemania 5100 movement like Tengler, PD Orfina, and Arctos. The mechanical time in the Luftwaffe ends with the new Quarz models from Tutima:(

    That's a fantastic collection! Would especially want to own that Longines at the bottom.
    My one and only BMW is a JLC w.w.w. I usually wear it on a period correct pigskin strap, but thought I'd try a bracelet for a change...

    A recent update

    Have been quite a while for not having any update....


    Different IWC WWW dial variants, Nato, Nato with IWC Logo, original Radium dial, original IWC dial, and IWC MOD dial. Seems there is one dial with circle IWC, arrow and circle T but don't know whether it is a correct legit variant... still need to verify...


    The IWC WWW group set for reference...sorry that I need to put the name on as I did see my pictures have been used by someone that posted in a famous online auction site without my consent.



    Special thanks to my watch maker who did marvelous restoration jobs..=)

    Best regards,

    Best regards,
    Hans, your collection must be out of this world...as to your name on the pictures, I think it is time I did that to mine as they are appearing everywhere without mentioning where the pictures came from! It is starting to annoy me!

    Your third IWC variant...Seems there is one dial with circle IWC, arrow and circle T but don't know whether it is a correct legit variant... still need to verify...

    I bought that dial at a watch trade fair a few years ago, Adrian v.d.Meijden informed me it was a fake ;-)

    A few watches with that dial were sold as authentic a few years ago at Crott auctions, that's probably why there still is the myth around that they are authentic ;-)




    Here are legitimate dials, courtesy of A.v.d.Meijden ;-)

    Nothing that Gucci yet! Not that I'd say if I was. For PERSEC and OPSEC all I'll say is I'm Royal Marines and it pays to be nice to the storeman!

    No Mase’, they’re identical.
    It would be nice to see a clear picture of that NSN
    issue sticker on the back of the tin.

    Thanks John,
    I have a "Civvie" SBS and an issued 0555 but will be looking to acquire an issued SBS at some point.
    Had one years ago - as usual wish i'd kept it !!

    Cheers,

    Iain

    They do come up Iain.
    I bought two a couple of years ago from a eBay seller with an HR postcode.
    Both BNIB and completely unmarked.
    His other items for sale and previous posts gave me reason to believe that they may have come out of Credenhill.
    They were described as car boot find or unwanted gift
    I think he sold five or six in the end.
    My two were £400 and £450.
    A call to Richard at Silvermans confirmed my two were serials from a batch issued to “H”, albeit I think they’d come straight from stores and never worn.

    An early 80s CWC and the other Precista divers watches are next on the list I think.
