John R Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 Very nice. Can we see the reverse side of the watches? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smiler Posted June 21, 2006 Author Share Posted June 21, 2006 sure john, up first is my latest one, KM Alpina 308744 with a real nice art deco style engraving AS (Kapit?nleutnant Adalbert Schnee ). next the weimer 614893 engraved with 5/12/45, and the selza 506938 and zentra 521591. i think these watches were issued on a ad hoc basis, but as there are no written records..........? cheers stephen.Very nice. Can we see the reverse side of the watches? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John R Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 (edited) With these watches, do you recommend that they be taken to a qualified watch repairman, perhaps a certified rolex shop, and have them refurbished and cleaned? It would seem after all these years that this would be a good idea. I know in the case of my rolex, which I never wear anymore in favor of my 13 dollar timex, if it is not worn, it stops and sometimes it stops for good until repaired/cleaned/whatever. I guess they could also be subject to rust/corrosion internally but that could be corrected by the right repairman.John Edited June 21, 2006 by John Robinson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smiler Posted June 21, 2006 Author Share Posted June 21, 2006 hiya john, yes, zentra and alpina were swiss made. the wiemer was from a watchmaker in the black forrest. i use a local guy who does any repairs i have, who works from home and does not cost the earth and he is very good. cheers stephen.Who made Zentra and Alpina.
