Unidentified trench watch
Hello,
I'm new to the forum and an amateur when it comes to watches. I recently purchased a trench watch which would seem, from the hallmarks to date from 1914. Markings might indicate a correlation to Rolex. Movement resembles an Aegler. It also appears to have been a centre second movement with perhaps some parts missing? I would welcome feedback. Marc |

Hello Fella,
Yes a WW1 officers trench watch, these were made by various swiss makers Inc Rolex, if its running your lucky, Ive had 2 pass through my hands in the last couple of years however the cost to repair out weighs the cost of the watch, Im sure if you Google WW1Trench watches a vast amount of information will come up on the subject. regards "H" |

This is a sweep seconds version missing the independent drive wheel and tension spring and hand.
Rebberg. Sized by ligne. They are sketchy. When they are good they can be great. If they're not...they're miserable. I have a box full of them junked basically. |

Basing on my limited experience, as long as the watch is working fine, it gives very little problem. My Trench watch for sharing.
