Hello all, just trying to find out any information about this watch. The text on the back translates into 'for faithful services in secret police'.

Looks like a "tourist" piece, probably Polish or Soviet origin. It is NOT a Nazi ear watch in my opinion.

If it was really for "service in the secret police" (ie the Gestapo) then why on earth would it have an SS logo on it!?
