Your collection is fantastic... and this Fifty Fathoms is a truly exceptional watch.
Thanks for sharing.

PS: What happened to the seconds hand on the Blancpain?

Sorry guys. Twisting your tits a bit. It’s a knock off. 80 bucks shipped Im too hard on watches to invest a lot of money in one so this suits me right down to the ground.

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”

After chatting with Pete he suggested that we collaborate on posting some photos of an original A-11 next to his so here you are:

Damn nice vintage watches .

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…
