Vintage German and Russian watches on the Bay??

[levelmanroger]

Well... I'm ashamed to say that I bid before posting this question - but I may not win any of the watches anyway.
I am very interested in gen vintage watches, particularly German and Russian WWII era. There seems to be quite a bit to choose from, some with new or reconditioned faces, but all say original movement and serviced/running.
Any general guidelines on these? Are there just a ton of vintagized reps and I'm more likely to be ripped off than not, or do these old watches tend to be real more often than not?

Here's a few I'm bidding on if you're interested:

do yourself a favour..

DO A LOT OF RESEARCH BEFORE YOU BUY ANY OF THOSE !

THE ( WANNA BE GERMAN ) MILITARY WATCHES FROM RUSSIA ARE MOSTLY WATCHES THAT ARE PUT TOGETHER FROM OLD RUSSIAN
MOVEMENTS IN A WRISTWATCH CASE....THE DIALS.....THE RUSSIANS LIKE TO ADD STUFF.....WAFFEN SS - YEAH RIGHT !
I AM GERMAN AND HAVE SEEN MANY WATCHES FROM THE WAR...... STOWA, LACO, DUROWE, ZENTRA, LANGE

NEVER SEEN A WATCH THAT WAS A waffen ss.....

YOU MIGHT END UP BUYING A CHEAP RUSSIAN POCKETWATCH....IN A CASE WITH FANTASY DIAL....

CAREFUL !!
