Hello,

I am very interested in buying this watch... but really spooked by the amount of fakes out there. Given how invaluable the knowledge of this forum is, I was hoping you could help me figure out if that watch is a fake or legit,

Thank you

nice and interesting piece - as it is the first 18k Wakmann piece I see, it is missing Breitling model reference and serial numbers, so most probably it did not start life with that dial, but with a Wakmann logo.

assume it was later combined with this dial, so Franken.
