just the Wehrmacht unit who, among other things, bombed Guernica in the Spanish Civil War
which is to say, I would leave extremely quickly

I tried to figure out if this is like all of the âsovietâ watches that crop up on ebay with skulls and radiation and masonic glyphs claiming to be from X or Y military or political whatever but itâs all fakes without originals to suck in dupes craving Mysterious Artifacts⌠From Beyond The Iron Curtain!
âŚexcept aimed at low-key nazis?
I think it might be?
It seems like most German military units during the Second Big One were just issued Watches that could be bought from People Who Make Watches not Tricked Out Custom Jobs Festooned With MurderDeath Imagery to remind them they were The Baddies. I canât find any evidence of this face other than modern sellers? Itâs probably a fake nazi-adjacent watch for the modern nazi enthusiast who doesnât do their nazi research?

Hilariously, this appears to be an actual Soviet (Molnija) pocket watch with a brand new (ânewly restored,â the listing says) fake-nazi dial and I guess lugs welded on for the strap.
And a big olâ cartoon dong for a minutes hand.

⌠so, I finally caved in, went to one of the official Seiko shops and took a good long look ⌠checked out the green, brown and white model as well, itâs cool how the perception of the watchface changes depending on light scattered on the surface detailing. And it is not as huge as I feared it would be!
So, finally decided to plunk down the cash after i have been offered a discount, went with the blue version. Loving it so far!

Nice.
I bought some NATO strap adapters for one of my gshocks, but the strap it came with is olive green, and the watch itself is pale pink, so not sure how well it works, but itâs a nato, so easy to swap.

like once a year my boyfriendâs $20 casio watch breaks and he buys another of the exact same one. I find it very endearing, but got him one of the new metal âcasioaksâ for an upcoming anniversary anyway
in other news, I got a nato for my sinn

Wow, both of these are beautiful.
I pared down by collection to just a G-Schock Square GW-M5610 and a cheap but good looking Casio Quartz analog piece I got at a Japanese recycle shop for 500 yen. to this day that Casio itâs the only wrist watch Iâve ever got compliments on, lol.
As cool as mechanical watches are Iâm fine with these two inexpensive, reliable quartz pieces.
