The mainspring of my IWC B-Uhr was broken, so the watch was sent to the watchmakers of my confidence;-) with the request to take lots of pictures ... It was worth it!
The Maltese Cross/Stop-works and the friction spring of the sweep second hand also had to be repaired.
Under the dial, which by the way was made by Singer, (who amongst others, supplied Rolex) there was a piece of paper/ note which says "Gräfenhainichen", this being carefully coated with Zapon /clear- varnish. The meaning of that we don't know yet, we are still working on it, for sure though, the town Gräfenhainichen is a small rural town ca. 25 km southwest of Wittenberg, southeast of Dessau and northeast of Bitterfeld on the edge of the Düben Heath (Dübener Heide)

Hi Geronimo, I've seen you have been back on the forum recently. You've got to put us out of our misery! Did you ever get to Gräfenhainichen?
