GLYCINE D.H.

GLYCINE  D.H.
CASE  :  chrome plated  ,  34 mm .
BACK  :  Screw  ,  steel .
              Inside , letters “CB” are punched .
              As far as the outside is concerned ,there are at least  two types of writing layout .
              To make the description easier , below are the photos of the common versions  available .
MOVEMENT  :  AS 1130 . Name of brand on the ratchet wheel ( not always ) .
PUNCHING  :  D.H.  only .
                     Letters and numbers are small ( 1mm ) .
S /N  :   5 digits .
             Considering the high number of recorded watches ( 148 ), it was not easy to define plausible batches .
             However , it is considered ,with good approximation , that there might be six main batches :
             1.  11XXX   /  25XXX  ;
             2.  40XXX  /  49XXX ;
             3.  51XXX  /  57XXX ;
             4.  65XXX  /  73XXX ;
             5.  75XXX  /  77XXX ;
             6.  85XXX  /  96XXX .
             Three watches with a 4 digits S/N  were also recorded .
NOTE  : 
           1. The fame acquired during the prewar period on the German market made Glycine
               one of the largest supplier of the 3rd Reich .
           2.  Glycine , togheter with Arsa and Helios , is certainly the most common D.H. available today .
           3.  Batches and S/Ns are purely indicative .
