Due to a local deal falling through I have for sale a 1960's Wakmann chronograph powered by the venerable valjoux 7730 movement.
Case: All stainless steel case in very good condition with some minor scratches commensurate with age. All the edges are still sharp and looks to have never been polished.
Caseback: Stainless steel caseback signed inside with some minor scratches commensurate with age.
Crystal: Perspex crystal in very good condition with some very minor swirls which can be polished out.
Movement: As mentioned valjoux 7730 movement signed Wakmann working well and keeping good time. Date of last service is unknown but all functions work and it is keeping be time.
Dial & hands: This dial is truly stunning in real life the pictures do not capture the true beauty. It is what I would consider MOP with the outer tachymetre scale in blue and the inner telemetre scale in red. The colors are vibrant with no fading. The lume has aged and does not glow. The hands are all original however the lume is missing from the hour hand this could be professionally restored.
Crown & pushers: Original unsigned crown and pushers all in excellent working condition.
This is a truly beautiful watch and at 37mm without crown gives it good presence on the wrist. If you look around there is one on the bay now for $1100 which honestly is not in as good condition as mine. I am looking for offers in the $1200 range which includes free DHL shipping worldwide. The watch will come on a lightly used black with white stitching Hirsch strap. I don't have movement pics right now but for any interested parties I will take some and email them. Thanks CT for the space.
