Not. Fake. Probably correct 'D' marked German ww2 piece but an obvious redial. I mean why the British broadarrow on a German watch?

The band is reversed at the 12 position.
See the 18mm.

There's a heck of a lot more wrong with this than a strap on backwards.

Yet another example of a perfectly good watch ruined in an attempt to create a more valuable piece.

From the seller;

"Of course,this was a British capture watch,but the "D" mark denote that original was designed to The German LuftwaffeThanks for asking.It,s 100% autentic that why it's interesting this watch,also the leather straps have a waffen amt prof marks.Any way I detail the watch the more that I can,but it was a German designation and capture in England after the battle of England,I bought this watch in England with other german watch around 40 years ago when I was in the Army."
