Smooth case GG-W-113?


Recommended Posts

I am been offered a GG-W-113 watch with an unexpected "smooth shape" and polygon screw back, with all usual inscriptions, which it is totally different than the very typical and well known shape we all know about these mil spec watches.

I could not track anything online about this smooth case, but some few exceptional sale site like this link:

Does anybody have some information about this smooth cases mil spec watches, or are them fakes? 

Thank you!

To the best of my knowledge, NO actual US Government/miltary issued GG-W-113 watch EVER had the manufacturers name on it. These were always sterile. What you have here is a Vietnamese copy / fake! I've seen these with Brietling, Hamilton, Bulova, IWC, and Rolex branding among others. Authentic Vietnam era GG-W-113's were front loading, one piece cases featured hacking and manual winding.  If a watch looks like below, it's guaranteed to be a fake!

I have an authentic GG-W-113 currently in pieces. The balance pivots are completely shot, trying to track down a decent donor at a reasonable price. It is for my father, he served in Vietnam the year it was made.
