challenger Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Hello, got this with a load of other unrelated stuff at an auction. Obviously not the original strap but is it likely to be military? Makers name on the back - Boden Edelstahl and a J in inside a star as on the face. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony B Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Nice period looking watch anyway. Any date? Could be 1930's to 1950's. Wristwatches came into fashion post Great War. Deson't look to have a luminous face so probaly a civillian version. The company di supply some watches to German forces, but I'm not familiar with any marks that would be aded.
