@squat12 very nice one!!!

Thank you! I have been looking for one like this ever since was shown a relative's similar AOPA Wakmann years ago. I know the panda and reverse panda triple date versions of this watch are well regarded, but I really like the all-black dial and silver numbering on the face. I also really like the 39mm case, it wears very well on my thinner wrist.

Hi all, finally got to grab one of these after wanting one forever... I actually had a gold capped one at a certain point but it was kind of beaten up and I sold it pretty quickly, but just recently grabbed this Gigandet-Wakmann Reverse Panda Triple. The interesting thing about this one, is that I can't find any other photos of this specific reference besides my own example, but It is indeed 100% authentic, just quite rare.

It's in absolutely immaculate condition, save some cracking of the lume on the minute hand. Love the black lines on the minute and hour hands that is not present on Wakmann only reverse pandas. This one is staying in the collection for life!
I have this same watch with the full black dial-- a bit less sporty-- more dressy. Also near mint.

One of the few I regret selling.



I saw a quote once outside a bookstore: "we regret nothing more than the things we did not buy." I think we can now revise that saying to: "The only things we regret more than the things we did not buy are the watches that we already sold."

Here is mine, 1315.30.74 with 72C. I was searching on OF some posts to help me deciding if it is worth to be serviced or not, if it is an appreciated model or not. I have been asked 300€ for complete service, some buttons are blocked, watch has not been used for a very long time.

My latest. Red hands are DIY - not by me - but are kind of nice

Hello everybody,

Looking around found this one per sale, I'm pretty interested in the 39mm due to the 20mm lug. We can confirm this seconds hand is not original right?

I've never seen one without the crescent-moon ending <shrug>.

Ignore that last--my phone showed crap detail. The 4th hand is correct steel w/bracket ending.

I could only find the Wakmann sweep in red, but the Gigandet version did have a white sweep. The crucial detail seems to be the teardrop tail-end. So, I'm going to go with authentic.
