Tony B Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Consulting the brains trust. I've aquired a mystery wrist watch that fits the description of a Germn WW2 issue wrist watch. The make is Swiss Recta. There s no letter before the serial number 552877, but inside the watch case are some odd markings . A tombstone shape with the letters CB properly engraved then ROST FREI STANL BODEN. Under that faintly scratched are a 9 with a line underneath then 11 an upside down arrow 4 also RED/57 10/2/60 Any help much appreciated. The winder is missing but the movment still works. The case is 33.9 mm wide, black face with radium hands small second face at bottom, fixed bars on case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
