In the Ehrhart/DeMesy Book 6, Vintage American & European Wrist Watch Price Guide, there are some interesting Wakmann versions of some of the popular Breitling's. I have never seen any of the variations but you'd have to assume they were produced if they're in the Price Guide. Talk about rare to have one of these. I believe the appreciating market for vintage Breitling's will also pull Wakmann along with it.

thanks for sharing, Paul - extremely interesting. Would be great to find on of these - like you never saw any of them. |

I believe some one has been creative with the , description and branding ? The above model is from 1953 and does NOT have a 'date' at 3 , and what was the wakmann connection in 53 ? Id be very surprised if these are models actually released |

Wakmann connection was around since the mid 40s, Rene ? |

This one is for sale on ebay and very similar to the ref 765 pictured. There is no ref #. The seller goes by the name dizmonkey. The bridge is flukey on it. http://www.ebay.com/itm/VINTAGE-WAKMANN ... 4ad26a5254 There is something shady with this seller because he is selling a similar Wakmann 2 register under a completely different ebay name but asks to be emailed at dizmonkey. http://www.ebay.com/itm/VINTAGE-WAKMANN ... 43c7e8c6ae |

Sorry Fred I corrected it. Something just seems odd with this seller even though 100% positive feedback on both sites. |

Rick, having two active sales accounts on ebay is not so extraordinary, some very respected members here have those too. Without leading this thread too far off topic, I would be rather cautious with this seller; I (and Craig) have seen a Jardur Bezelmeterwhere he claimed "it was coomon practice to file off the Pilgrim Electric engraving on the bridge", wasn't easy to make him take the watch back - no he's swapped the movement into another Jardur and he's still trying to sell it

I wasn't interested in these but thought it was interesting because they were similar to the Wakmanns Paul alluded to in the beginning of this thread. |
