    Apologies if anyone is currently intending to bid on this, since I'm putting it under the spotlight.
    This lovely black-dialed 12.68 is on the bay (http://www.ebay.com/itm/111345164970?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network)
    The seller sent me a full-view of the caseback, which shows a crudely applied eagle and swastika.
    From what little I know, it seems most nazi engravings on watches are fakes, especially so if done at this level of quality.

    What do you guys think?

    It would be a nice watch to buy if you had a spare case back.
