Sorry guys. Twisting your tits a bit. It’s a knock off. 80 bucks shipped :p Im too hard on watches to invest a lot of money in one so this suits me right down to the ground.
Would you please post a photo of the back of the watch?

I’ve never seen a real one in the flesh. Surprised how small they are but very comfortable. I’d always bought chronograph pilot watches in the past. Or as we used to rib our flight crews “big watch little dick”;)

Was mine a while ago…
The Wehrmacht D..H Tre Tacche.
Longines supplied ( via diplomatic channels and Spain ) watches and mechanisms to the Wehrmacht until approx. 1944 Sept… so did many other Swiss brands.. incl. Rolex.

Edit…
The Allieds got extremely irritated about the only half hidden but very open and obvious collaboration of the Swiss industry with the Wehrmacht.. and created some only half hidden retaliation.. read ( 70 accidental :) ) bombings…of the bespoken collaboration industrial parks.
See below… even nowadays its still a very touchy subject…

Edit…
Still nowadays, most profitable business..
Selling weapons and alike to all involved from all sides…
