Original Description:
Very Rare WW2 2WK Kriegsmarine Wehrmacht IWC International Watch Co Schaffhausen. 
On offer is a very rare WW2 Kriegsmarine Pocket Watch from the International Watch Company of Switzerland. (IWC)  This Pocket Watch is in an excellent condition.  The only faults I could find are a small hairline on the dial near the number 5, and a tiny dint on the case back.  These are both minor, but are mentioned for complete description accuracy.  The watch was ...tested, and it worked perfectly, keeping good time.  As with any time piece of this vintage, it is recommended that the watch be cleaned and serviced by a professional for optimum performance.  The front of the watch has the classic white dial of the German Navy, known as the "Kriegsmarine".  It is clearly marked with the maker's name:  International Watch Co  Schaffhausen  Above the maker's name are the initials:  KM  (for Kriegsmarine)  The hour and minutes hands, as well as the sub-seconds hands are in a beautiful "steel blue" colour.  The numerals are in black enamel, and stand out clearly against the white background.  The case back of this Pocket Watch is engraved with a German Eagle with a Swastika.  (Please note: Ebay policy forbids display of offensive symbols or images)  Underneath the German Eagle there is a letter "M" engraved, together with the number "9226".  Underneath that "II.Kl." is also engraved.  Inside the watch case, the IWC mechanism is clean, and beautifully preserved.  On the bridge of the mechanism can be found the IWC signature mark.  On the inside of the case back there is a number "1081006", also with the IWC signature mark.  The stainless steel mechanism protective cover also has the same matching number "1081006".  The case body of the watch, and the case back are also manufactured from stainless steel.  The watch measures 55mm in diameter, and 78mm in length (including the ring above the winder mechanism).  The watch weighs 123 grams, so it's a fairly heavy watch to be carrying around in your pocket!  IWC International Watch Co AG is a luxury Swiss watch manufacturer located in Schaffhausen, Switzerland.  IWC is best known for its manufacture of high quality pilot/aviation watches.  They are the only major Swiss watch maker located in eastern Switzerland, and the "lingua franca" of the company is German.  IWC's motto is "Probus Scafusia",  a Latin phrase meaning "good, solid craftsmanship from Schaffhausen".  The motto was established in 1903.  All in all, this is an excellent example of a WW2 German Kriegsmarine Pocket Watch from the highly regarded Swiss watch makers, IWC.  Good luck bidding on this piece of military history from the Second World War.  
Please see the pictures carefully, as they are an important part of the description.  The IWC Kriegsmarine Pocket Watch will be packed with care, and sent with Australia Post Standard Service, with tracking.  Please ask any questions prior to bidding.  Payment is by PayPal only.  Payment is to be made within 48 hours.  There are no returns, all sales final.
