I believe this is a fantasy piece.
The swastika disc is tilted to the right a little - plus, I've never seen a brass
dial with embossed characters on a pocket watch before - they are
usually made of fine porcelain ceramic with enameled numbers,
or silver plate with printed features.
The fakers use of a cheap un-named movement with no information
or much detail at all, is also a sign that it is bogus, IMO.
Not one for me.........

Looks like a fantasy piece to me. Too tacky and when fakers makes something like this, they seem to want to present a lot of Swastikas, "so i better put one on the front and back" type of thinking...
error, sorry
Is it me or do the fantasy pieces seem to get more and more swazika?
who makes these fake,are they just crap from china
Eastern Europe mostly
and are there web sites to buy them or do they just try and pass them off as originals
People do try to pass as originals
As for websites selling as fantasy i have no idea
Usually touted on E Bay and other auction sites or sold in markets.
