The Kriegsmarine was the name of the German Navy during the Nazi regime. The Kriegsmarine was one of three official branches of the Wehrmacht, the unified armed forces of Nazi Germany. The Kriegsmarine grew rapidly during German naval rearmaments under Plan Z, a large-scale plan calling for the construction of multiple naval vessels. The commander-in-chief of the Kriegsmarine was Adolf Hitler.

The Kriegsmarine's most famous ships were the U-boat wolf packs, constructed on the eve of World War II. They were submarine groups which  harassed Allied convoys during the Battle of the Atlantic. Both the U-boats and pocket battleships were used to disrupt Allied shipping in the earlier years of the war. However, the adoption of convoy escorts later in the war greatly reduced the effectiveness of naval strikes on convoys.

I SIMPLY COULD NOT SLEEP
THE SECOND HAND WAS SO BAD

AND
I AM
NOW
HAPPY

PICTURE OF OLD HAND

THERE IS A CRACK IN THE BEZEL CASE WALL
IT HAS NO MEANING AS TO CASE INTEGRITY
DUE TO THE HEAVY SOLID STEEL BEZEL TOP
AND THE FACT THAT THE BEZEL WALL
HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE WATCH SEALING
OR THE INTEGRITY OF THE WATCH CASE
THE 4 SCREWS HOLD THE BEZEL TO THE CASE
THE CASE IS SEALED PERFECTLY

AND ANOTHER PIC
OF OLD SECONDS HERE....

 

SCREWS LOCKED DOWN

I SPEND HOURS AND HOURS

MANY POPULAR SUB-DIAL SECOND HAND   MOVEMENTS WERE CHOSEN FOR W.W.II WATCHES. THIS INCLUDED AMERICAN "MADE' MILITARY WATCHES.

IN THIS CASE, A LARGE BRASS WHEEL ON TOP LEFT OF MOVEMENT RUNS FROM THE SUB-SECOND WHEEL THAT POWERED THE SECOND HAND THAT ORIGINALLY SAT AT BOTTOM OF THE DIAL.

AN ADDED BRIDGE- THE ONE THAT IS RIGHT AND ABOVE THE BIG BRASS WHEEL - WITH ONE JEWEL AND A SCREW, POWERS THE SWEEP SECONDS.

NOTICE THE HIGH QUALITY SCREW ADJUSTMENTS GOING AROUND THE BALANCE AT BOTTOM OF WATCH.

AND THE DUAL ADJUSTMENTS ON THE BALANCE BRIDGE.

NOTICE THE FEMALE STEM POST.
