Yeah, it gives me a more realistic picture of what it would have been like at the time rather than seeing the pristine war birds of today, a bit like an origional jacket with patina that cant be replicated!.
That being said I do appreciate both sides of the coin.

Most probably one of these here...
Called “ Dienstuhr “ service watch issued..( and IDed).
Were issued to most of the German WW2 officers.
Most probably a Zenith, Minerva, Helvetia, Silvana or Mimo...
These were of better manufacture and so
for Luftwaffe officers. Most had Swiss movements ( yes Swiss ! from 1936-1944)

I just found this picture of Hans Philipp.
It is indeed a "Dienstuhr" watch. Well done Pilot !
hummm... no I'm writing nonsense, it's a Hanhart or Tutima chronograph on this photo !

No they were for all officers.... not only for ground staff.
Even Fallschirmjäger ( Paras) were issued one.
