Cucumber_Jones Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 WTF that is odd. Crazy dial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longshot Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 The Kampfschwimmer dial was evidently used by the German military in WWII in some watches and has long been prized by collectors. Bill Yao (who makes custom Seiko and ETA dials and hands and some custom mil-style watches) under the MK II label made a modern version a couple years ago that sold out instantly and is now impossible to find. Personally I could take it or leave it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Bond Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 The watch maker was drunk when he assemble this watch How do you suppose to read the time?????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steelerfan Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 I'd guess those are done that way so that you don't have to bend your arm in or stop swimming to read the time. With your arm stretched out in front of you in a swimming position, the dial will appear correctly oriented to you. But WTF do I know?

jimmytim Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 I believe the dial position has a purpose. Imagine holding a rifle, you can look at the time without taking your hand off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 I love it. The funky sideways dial is strangely appealing to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adeeos Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 Hahahah,,,, Nope,, it's a Rolex pocket watch movement AND original dial,, stuck in a case... Look at it in a pocket watch,, the sub sec would be at 6,, and the crown at 12.... In a Pam 3646,, they just use the "right" dial for it,,, My guess is it's a fake,, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slay Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 I believe the dial position has a purpose. Imagine holding a rifle, you can look at the time without taking your hand off. what? hows that even possible? your upper wrist is pointed to the ground when holding a rifle!

jimmytim Posted April 22, 2006 Report Share Posted April 22, 2006 I thought you hold it with two hands? And wearig the watch with the dial facing inwards...(maybe) I don't know... But looking at the listing, they have shop front, so chances for a fake is (minimal?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a gen movement for this watch. Yes it is the same as a rolex pocket watch - but that is what they used in these watches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
