SERVICED AND RUNNING
WONDERFUL

German manufacturer Pforzheimer Uhrenwerke [PUW] in the black forest region was a major producer of ebauches and finished watches beginning in 1934. During the war they were involved in war production, producing top quality Deck watches. After the war, puw continued to produce ebauches. By the 1970's, PUW built watches for export to the USA with support of the US Government who viewed Germany as our greatest Ali against Russia. Benrus with ties to the US Military for 20 years, allowed PUW to produce watches Branded with BENRUS. So, this offer is for a 100% German designed and made wrist watch and movement.
