By a Guy in Germany, mint with box and original box 😀
I don’t really seriously hunt for these, but I don’t remember ever seeing one (I mean a first owner one, not one from a collector) from anywhere other than Germany. Maybe they were domestic sales only.

They were made in 3 different versions, union one is the rarest of them so you don’t see them often at all

Anyone a clue about the brand of this bezel? It looks a bit like Blancpain? Interesting combo: triangle and only 15 30 45 marks.

This one arrived yesterday and sits nicely on the wrist with a diameter of around 37 mm. Haven’t seen a lot of them. Based on the original watch box which was included the company Nemos was based in Les Breuleux, Switzerland...

Here's one I came across online recently.... either a rather hilarious franken or an extremely rare piece 😉

There's no MuDu diver here yet.

Gotta rectify that.
