The watch above pretends to be a WW2 watch, but the movement is a J32 which was produced only 1923 and Junghans has not produced cases with military insignia during WW2. The watch has been restored and the fake insignias removed.

This one is a J10 alarm pocket watch which was produced until 1921 so that the dial is most probalbly repainted by someone but not made by Junghans.
Junghans phantasy dial
On a regular basis you can find Junghans pocket watches with phantasy remake dials like this one.
