Hello everyone! Hoping to learn a little more about this lovely line by Wakmann (and a few other brands). The online literature is quite light and the best article by far is here: https://www.fratellowatches.com/tbt-wakmann-big-boy-chronograph/. Hoping to explore the range of designs and movements. I've attached an image of my Wakmann Big Boy with its Valjoux 237. Cheers everyone!

 

Hey @SeaSubRod, welcome to the forum!

I have bitten by the vintage chronograph bug lately. And I have been on the lookout for a Wakmann Big Boy. Love the design and size! Yours looks to be in great condition, is it NOS? And some more with a column wheel Valjoux 237. What a beauty!

And may I say - DIBS!!

 

Very nice!

 

Thanks, appreciate it! It has some bumps and bruises, so I'd say it's one step removed from NOS - lightly worn is the best way to describe it. Totally agree on size/design comment, wears quite well! And will keep you in mind should it be time to sell Cheers.

 

Thanks @SeaSubRod! Remember I have first dibs on it...
