Due to a new baby on the way and some other family expenses on the horizon, I’ll be looking to move a few watches I’ve otherwise held dear. Up here is this NOS-ish early 1970’s Wakmann Regatta “Clint Eastwood”, with the Lamania 1341. This watch is the subject of this review (plenty of background and additional photos there), and the 1341 is covered in this movement family review. Everything functions as expected, though I do not run it at any length given its NOS condition and lack of service history. Also included is it’s NOS bracelet. Photos as of today, below. Despite the otherwise NOS condition, there is on the ~7:30 position on the front-facing case a tiny, hairline, scratch in the gold plating. I’ve tried hard to photograph it, and in its most egregious looking lighting - but that is still difficult (see red ring photo). Also, the crown, which is of a slightly different material/plating than the case, has a touch of patina, which I believe could be cleaned off with the appropriate cleaner/cloth but I leave that to its new owner. Happy to answer any questions, of course. Happy also to invite anyone to on this thread publicly critique anything about the description of the watch or other inaccuracy. This is lovely watch, with a great movement, and the only NOS version I’ve seen in 10ish years of paying attention. Asking $3,200 OBO, shipped overnight in the Continental U.S. Buyer to cover desired insurance or other fees. Accepting returns if not as described, within 3 days of receipt. Will discuss non-U.S. shipment, but would look for buyer to arrive with its desired shipping plan and to cover any fees for international shipping. For international, no returns are feasible.
Realizing the earlier photos were in poor lighting and so we’re of poor detail. Notice in these photos several other *extremely* fine hairline … scuffs? …. they’re essentially invisible but for the fleeting moment of light catching the plating at just the right angle. Still I’ve managed to photograph their nature below. See also some plating discoloration on the back of the case near the stainless pusher shafts. Again, I’m leaving the cleaning of this (if possible) to the new owner. Accordingly, revising description to NOS-ish
