This nice Wakmann by Breitling was inspected and regulated and said to run perfectly (please see photo watchmaker took on "timegraph" showing great accuracy!) . The chronograph starts+stops+resets to perfect zero with ease. The watch keeps time for a day+, which is all you can expect with a manual mechanical watch. It is 3X signed (dial, movement bridge and caseback inside) . The serial number on the back is 449033.
For cosmetic condition, please study the pictures and consider them description. I can't really add much more than they show so I am describing the photos.
The dial is a gorgeous ivory sunburst panda, with clear blue "eyes". Not sure the pictures do it justice. Also signed "France"--which is cool because one of the only French luxury brands.
The case is big and unpolished: 37mm (40mm w crown) X 45mm, pushers and crown are gold plated with nearly no discoloration and no brassing which is what's important, as I understand. Some age-related and wear-related scuffs and dings are present throughout, as you'd expect from a 50 y/o watch that was worn on special occasions.
The movement is very clean, I was told, signed and and very accurate. I honestly do no know whether the strap is original but it seems as old as the watch, gold buckle and I am guessing the watch came like that--not sure tho.
Here is a video I just recorded showing the chronograph working perfectly.

I've been lucky enough to have gotten good feedback on the watches I sold from this collection. However, from all my reading, mechanical watches are susceptible to magnetic fields and dropping during shipping which can affect their running...I cannot accept returns if the watch arrives not working perfectly unless it's physically damaged and we can both work with insurance. Likewise, I describe what I see and unless there is something I absolutely grossly misrepresented, I will not accept returns. Thanks for understanding.
