Watcha wearing today

I picked this up the other day and love it. I took off the Speidel band the original owner had it on and put it on a vintage looking strap. Its a Wakmann Triple Date from the late 60's with the Val. 730 movement. Around 40mm it wears very nice and has the look Not a Rolex but still neat...crappy iphone pic...

Wearing my 16750 and having a glass of Gunlach Bundschu Zin and thinking of my Dad who passed away last Monday.

He had already given me his 5 million day date solid gold Rolex years ago, He had a drawer full of Elgin,Hamilton,Seiko digitals from the 70's. I did find a cool Waltham that looks a lot like an omega speedmaster. I am sending it to Dalton at ABC for a refinish and service as it is a really cool looking watch.

Very nice Nikos, here's my triple date,a 1946 Breitling Datora785 Valjoux 72C, saying hello:).

Breitling actually had Wakmann as their US distributor back then because of a trade embargo on Swiss movements.
