This watch was given to me and I've had for some time. It works very well but I have no certainty that this watch was manufactured before or during WWII. I've included some picture if anyone could comment on the watch or suggest a way to determine when it was made, that would be great. I haven't found one that looks like this online with a swastika yet. As I have read in other postings, I suspect this is a tourist watch.   | ||

It's probably after WWII. I think a lot of these were made in the Soviet block in the 1950s and 1960s. | ||

Tourist watch. A real fantasy watch. Not german, not old, not vintage, not interesting, not military. I hope you didn't spend to much to buy it. | ||

Thanks for the info, Klaus. Most WWII pieces did not have any Nazi symbols on them at all, so any time you see one, it's grounds for suspicion. |
