The pictures on these pages I have taken from the internet or they have been sent to me, via email.
On some occasions the owner of the watch has given me permission, via email, to use the pictures.
On other occasions I have used the pictures without permission. Many of the military
watches displayed I have permission to use. 

I am just a wristwatch hobbyist trying to display some watches that are of interest to me. I hope
this does not offend anyone.

Lastly, note that nothing here for sale or trade, just for connoisseur reference.

We strongly appreciate for you to send your DH/D/DU watch photos and grant your permission to
add them to the catalogue. Just send pics via e-mail: [email protected]

 Submit your DH-D-DU watch photos

Please keep in mind everything put on the Web cannot be unput, so please mind that photos
contributed can be used on this web-resource forever.

luminova. Keep in mind – originally it always must be radium.
