WW2 U-Boat Clock, I hope its okay to show Picture.

 

Very Nice!
What is the size?

 

Well no actually, that pictures not okay.... you cut off the top and the focus is a bit off..... you'd be run out of the Kriegsmarine for such work!

Beautiful piece, if it could only talk! How's it fastened to the bulkhead..... er.. wall, mine took four 2" long screws!

I smell the beginnings of a "marine lever" thread!

 

My U-Boat Clock has 3 lugs for fixing it, I just hang it on nail by top one for ease of lifting it down. It is approx. 6.3/4in dia at Dial and 7,3/4in dia across base. 3.5/8in front to back. Bezel is unlocked with winding Key and is pulled shut when closing to make an airtight fit, I assume to keep damp out when in high humidity conditions. Thanks for interest.

 

This wouldnt look too good on a wrist

 

On the subject of ship's clocks.

 

Absolutely Lovely, My neighbour has one just like it, and my friend in US has one by Waltham. I would like to own one but she indoors would leave home or shoot me if I actually got one.
Thinking about it, the first option?.

 

Here's it cousin

 

And it's second cousin

 

And another cousin...

 

All three cousins side-by-side

 

Wow that's really cool. I'd love to see another shot from further away for perspective.
