I've recently fallen for vintage TDMs too. Movement-wise I'm after a self-winding Felsa Bidynator cal. 693. They came in several jewel counts from 17 through 25. They can be found in several brands but I gravitate toward the Breitlings and the Vulcains, though the Breitlings seem to be pricey.

I recently bought this Hyde Park manual TDM for my mom. I don't know much about it but I love the numerals.

Not a chrono, but... This Trematic TDMP was sometimes branded "Keystone." Most of the examples on the market are NOS or nearly so. I don't know if these watches were ever marketed... I suspect someone came across a cache of unsold watches in a warehouse somewhere. Stainless steel, 37mm. Felsa Bidynator cal 693. Can sometimes be had around $500.

Awesome! Love the beefy lugs! Great size as well. Congrats!

anyone recognize this Wakmann? I haven't seen another similar online and when I asked a few other people here on OF, they were all pretty skeptical.....

Why would anyone have motivation to fake a vintage triple date ? Does not make sense ?

I'm not sure anyone suggesting it was fake, perhaps more concerned over franken or redial or I'm not sure what?

I can tell that this is a beautiful dial. Any chance of having a full picture of it? Please? 🙄

Very nice. The very same dial and handset used by Record in their Datofix.
Mine says hi.

I see the caliber comes signed by Record. Any idea of the Max Greif name on the dial? I´m curious to know. Thanks!

I have owned this watch for probably 20 years. Today is the first time I ever opened it up!
I think (but not positive) that Max Greif was a New York Jeweler that private labeled watch brands. Somewhat like Birks of Canada.
