Something that immediately caught my eye were two tiny screws at 6 and 12 on the brass dial. The full disclosure of the dial swap is exemplary! The watch is listed with a vast amount of pictures which show almost every detail. The new owner sent the watch immediately for a service and had the brass dial replaced with a NOS (New Old Stock) California dial. The outside of the case back bears no engravings. Commonly, brass dials are not very sought-after, probably due to their fuzzy look. The other badge on the right is the “Verwundetenabzeichen”, awarded to soldiers who have been wounded in battle.Īs mentioned above this watch came originally with a brass dial.

The one on the left is the “Deutsches Reichssportabzeichen” (DRL= Deutsche Reichauszeichnung für Leibesübungen), awarded for passing five specific tests in sports. Picture of the original owner and “Kampfschwimmer” Karl HeckĪn interesting observation is that the uniform worn in the picture belongs to the Luftwaffe (German Airforce). The watch is being offered with a book and the picture of the former owner and “Kampfschwimmer” Karl Heck. Picture of the watch from the original auction in April 2016Īccording to the present owner, this watch was brought to Auktionshaus Eppli by the widow of the original owner, a former Nazi Kampfschwimmer from Baden-Baden in Germany. The extraordinary way how the dial was installed sparked a fascinating forensic trip through the history of the brand. The new owner is now asking € 115.000 (Euro) for the whole set, including the replaced brass dial. The watch was sold for € 80.900 (Euro) at the Eppli auction in April 2016, a very high price for a watch with brass dial. The watch was orignally equipped with a brass dial but the new owner replaced the brass dial with a California dial for cosmetical reasons. This watch entered the market only a few month ago in April 2016 after it was auctioned by Auktionshaus Eppli in Germany.
