Two Dumb Questions (re the Bundeswehrs)


Two very basic questions, from someone who has watched the BWs from a distance, occasionally gotten interested, but never really learned much about them:

-- wouldn't the "Sternzeit reguliert" keep time differently -- either in the time-of-day function; in the chrono function; or in both??

-- do all the BWs have the "flyback" function??

thanks for further information . . . some day, I must get my hands on one of these guys.

: Last week I won an Ebay auction for an Heuer
: "Bund". I expected to be receiving
: a "normal" Bund, but the
: 'versorgungsnummer' seems to indicate that
: it is an SR version. After closer
: examination the model number 1551 SGSZ
: confirms that. The dial does not have the
: "Sternzeit reguliert" text, but
: obviously the dial could have been changed
: during a later service, at least that's what
: Konrad Kirim writes.

: Now on the forum I'm usually active there is
: some doubt about the originality of the
: 'versorgungsnummer'. Please have a look, and
: let me know what you think. Is there a
: visual difference between the regular
: movement and that of the SR (different
: cal.nr. or other visual signs) or is it just
: the regulation that is different?

: Thanks, Ron.
