madasboot Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 This is one of my favorites. Major credit goes to my good buddy Mark (Finepics) who did a terrific joob on this dials and hands. And since this forum has turned to strap showroom this one has a good old nato style strap specially crafted by watchinger. Maybe this is one will be my last topic since I believe I have nothing more to show besides my vintage projects. Thank you all, M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe this is one will be my last topic since I believe I have nothing more to show besides my vintage projects. Thank you all, M. No...boll*cks Mr Boot Sir.....these vintage projects are inspirational to newbies like my self....more please! I found I entered the PAM hobby at 183 and have gone mostly backwards ever since. I think it takes some knowledge, skill , contacts and patience to pull off a decent vintage project......please keep the ball rolling!

"Kampfschwimmerzeit" sounds strange to me (as I speak fluent German). A "Kampfschwimmer" as we all know, is basically a seal and "zeit" means "time". The word makes no sense. "Kampfschwimmer-Zeitmesser" or "Kampfschwimmerzeitmesser" instead would mean seal-watch (Zeitmesser being an old German word for watch).

Willith Posted July 4, 2007 Report Share Posted July 4, 2007 Very cool project watch! A few friends of mine are also working on the 3646, they are working hard to get the parts right, the best movements and things like that. When you finish a project like you have it is something special that anyone can appreciate. Keep up the good work and the posts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a german in denmark Posted July 4, 2007 Report Share Posted July 4, 2007 M. .. are you sure about that engraving on the caseback? "Kampfschwimmerzeit" sounds strange to me (as I speak fluent German).

"Kampfschwimmer-Zeitmesser" or "Kampfschwimmerzeitmesser" instead would mean seal-watch (Zeitmesser being an old German word for watch). It does make sense to me, especially if you add "In memory of.../Zur Erinnerung an...", like on the gen. Volker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chubbchubb Posted July 4, 2007 Report Share Posted July 4, 2007 It does make sense to me, especially if you add "In memory of.../Zur Erinnerung an...", like on the gen. Volker If you add that, yes. Without it, not really.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madasboot Posted July 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2007 M. .. are you sure about that engraving on the caseback? "Kampfschwimmerzeit" sounds strange to me (as I speak fluent German).

I believe is not too late for me to learn german but for this caseback I believe it is too late to correct the problem. M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
