Description: LISTED IS A VERY OLD 1940’s WAKMANN 3-WINDOW CHRONOGRAPH WATCH WITH BOX. THE NAME ON THE DIAL SAYS “WHITE PLAINS”. THE MOVEMENT,CASE ALL MARKED WAKMANN. WATCH HAS BEEN SITTING FOR TOO LONG BUT SETS AND RUNS.MAINSPRING HAS RÉSISTANCE AND SETS WELL TOO.THE CHRONOGRAPH BUTTONS ENGAGES SOMETIMES YOU NEED TO PUSH IT A COUPLE TIMES AND IT STARTS AND ALSO IT RESETS TO ALMOST ZERO.A SERVICE I AM SURE WILL MAKE IT PERFECTLY GOOD.THE BUTTONS ARE STICKY AND YOU WILL SEE A LOT OF GUNK/DIRT ALL AROUND. THE MOVEMENT I AM NOT SURE,MAYBE A VALJOUX OR VENUS OR ANY OTHER,ALL I CAN READ BELOW THE BALANCE IS A “7..”. SOME GOOD SAMARITAN SUGGESTED THIS IS VENUS-178,SO PLEASE DO YOUR RESEARCH AND MAKE CONCLUSIONS. THE BODY HAS WEAR AS I BELIEVE THEY USED BASE METAL.BACK SEEMS SS SO IT HAS LESS WEAR. DIAL HAS GREAT PATINA,LOOK AT PICS. CRYSTAL SCRATCHES BUT IN FAIR CONDITION. COMES ON A SWISS LEATHER BAND THAT HAS A “ACIER” BUCKLE. HOUSED IN A WAKMANN BOX IN GOOD CONDITION. LOOK CLOSELY AT ALL PICS AND ASK QUESTIONS. I MAY HAVE MISSED SOMETHING IN THIS BRIEF DESCRIPTION. SOLD AS DESCRIBED,CHRONOGRAPH BUTTONS ENGAGE SOMETIMES AND SOMETIMES AFTER A COUPLE OF TIMES,TIME FUNCTION IS RUNNING. NO RETURNS ON THIS DUE TO RARITY AND PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE OF PARTS SCAVENGING. HAVING SAID THAT I HAVE DESCRIBED WITH ALL HONESTY AND INTEGRITY. BUY WITH CONFIDENCE . GOD BLESS ALL.
