    I was just cleaning my ebay watch list and saw this one. I was watching cause I was interested in finding out more about it:

    http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...sspagename=STRK:MEWAX:IT&orig_cvip=true&rt=ncPurchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network

    Never seen anything similar before, what about you guys? ref 171? military marking on the back looks fake, and it appeas to be a T swiss made T which would be incorrect for the period. Just curios what is your take.

    Cheers!

    Whenever someone says military it raises the skepticism scale, but not my area of specialty

    That guy usually has a bunch of schlock that he asks ridiculous prices for. Might as well be a Hello Kitty military chrono. It's a pity too, because it looks like a nice old caliber 320.

    Maybe if he added Luftwaffe owned it might do better, perhaps it belonged to the Red Barron? =D

    This listing was ended by the seller because the item is no longer available

    Maybe these guys went after him,
