[theflyingdutchman]

Hi there,

Some time ago I found in a thread these 2 pics (please see below). I am still trying to find this post again to copy the other ones, but I just cannot find them? Anybody any idea where these can be found?

Thanks!

and here #2

Look in the Panerai section. It is probably from a vintage "Kampfschwimmer" PAM...

NICE! Thanks, but it ain't the thread I was looking for! It had more pics of this watch.

I only gave you an example. I wasn't doing the searchwork for you. Use the "search" button in the upper right corner of the Forum, put "Kampfschwimmer" and my example was only number two or three in a long list of threads on the subject. The centerpoint of my info was the fact that this handwound movement was not from an old Rolex but rather a Rolex movement used in WWII Panerai watches who were given to German and Italian undersea divers during war. Some of these, given to German divers, had "Kampfschwimmer" engraved on the caseback which is the German expression for a undersea diver / seal.

Happy hunting...
