I just got my Kampfschwimmer! I am so impressed with the quality of the watch! The dial is so beautiful and legible. I like the simpleness of the dial and you could really tell the time in a glance. The blued hands accent the watch giving it the vintage look. The numbers/markers have a yellowish hue. The luminosity isn't that strong at night but just enough to see the time in the dark. The box is nice, it's like the bakelite boxes of breitling watches. It came with a warranty card and pillow for the watch. It would have been better if there is a documentation or a small manual included to describe the watch and a few instructions or a few words to discuss the history of the watch. :) Sorry, i'm a manual junkie, i read all the manuals when i buy a watch. The strap could be better, but the buckle is really NICE! I have some 26mm straps so i just changed the strap according to my preference. I also liked the fact that the size of the screws is the same as the panerai luminor's screws, so they just shared the screwdriver. Great watch! Impressive quality and feel. Well worth the money. i would like to thank hwilsdorf for the assistance and opening my eyes to Dievas watches and also anders for the watch. Here are some amateur pictures. Notice the time, that's 4am... I haven't slept much since I got the kampf! :) haha Kampf on Strapworks 1950 choco brown vintage strap: ![]() ![]() ![]() |

I believe that light hairlines scratches can be polished out using Polywatch. |

Beautiful combo there Alex! You are right, the more scratched up they are the better looking they will be. Next time I will use sandpaper to wipe the dirt off my 3646! :) |
