Great early RLM navigators chrono watch, Enzo. It's not easy to repair chronographs.

I have an RLM stopwatch with a Hartmann, Berlin, dial. I think he was an early supplier to the RLM, your watch may be a pre-war example from 1937-1938.

Thanks for the post.

Here you go, Enzo. It has the mark "R.L.M." on the back of the case. The outer case is original issue. Otherwise, a rather ordinary stopwatch.

Hallo lige,
here you see a page from my book, my Minerva RLM is not Hartmann and still has the wrong hands! So gratulation to you!
