Reverse side of my Uboat clock. The face doesnt have a serial number, but the one on the back is pretty clear.
I looked around the web and only found one other at this site

I expect its a Junghans.
The chap that repaired it told me it had'nt been touched in years.. works like a dream I must say, great ticking noise..
Thanks for your questions.

Hi. Sounds like a neat clock. Could you post a few more photos of the dial and case? Thanks!
Not reflecting on your clock, but I've noticed a lot of "Nazi" watches being sold on Evil-bay mainly from Poland. They have unit insignias on the face (No swastika so they will be posted) & when they show the open back, everything is in ENGLISH ! Bidders don't seem to catch on !
Hi
Thanks for your reply, Ive got other photos here

Noted your comments, this is from a regular source, so no chance of being sold a duffer.
Ive seen some of those watches.. Im stunned people fall for it... one in particular with all sorts of bi-planes on it... pinned up "as worn by german airmen of WW1" bit of a give away of captured I thought!.
all th best
