 Yes Oscar, I know that the movements are not copies and cases are originals also but many dials are made-up to be "WW2 Looking" and it's very often pocket-watches who had some lugs welded on, to use them as a wrist-watch...
I observed many home-made welding jobs like that on his site as other sites from Poland or Ukrainia.
For the pilot, mvt and case seems originals: But when a guy transform pocket-watches in wrist-watches like that and claim that they are originals from this or that regiment, it don't put in confidence.... Even the pilot csae don't look welded up apparently, I wasn't in full trust. As the dial seems repaired or maybe home-made...??? Who knows with them.
