Hello everyone!
Tell me please why there is no indication on the dial. The diametre of watch without clock winder is 38 mm. And also advise me the price if it is possible.
Thank you!

well, clearly NOT a Breitling, missing the correct model ref. and serial on the case.

never saw a Wakmann in that configuration, assme it is only a WOG bridge used in a repair.

Thank you for your answer, WatchFred.
There is one bridge with the inscription WOG, the other have the inscription FRANCE, the third is simply milled. These bridges seem to be similar (same colour), why they could be changed during reparation? If it isn't Breitling, so what is it then?
Big Frankenstein? :nana:

might be a 90ies re-issue , but I would expect to see a breitling signed dial
crown, case , movements , hands etc all point to those 90ies re-issues but the lack of a breitling -sig on the dial bothers me

Thank you for your answers, friends!
I speak English very bad and if understand correctly, these watches are made by Breitling in 90's basing on the vintage style, but the only question is why there are no signs on the dial. But is there a variant that this is not Breitling? The photo is attached.

I think this might be one of the 'blank' original ones that Breitling (and others) sourced from to make their re-issues ?

the WOG and France + triangle markings seem to point into a LIP direction for the movement (or other Mfg that assembled in france and that Wakmann imported in the USA)

it also strengthens the 'dozens of movements found in a warehouse' theory , too bad the name on these have been removed , no way of knowing who the movements were originally made for by Venus

the 132 inside the hammerhead points to Eric Monnier (21.7.1934, 10.3.1992) , but I think he made cases for a lot of Mfg's

Pretty sure it was a Wakmann originally based upon the machined area location on the bridge.
