This could possibly mean Tissot instead of Omega since it isn't Lemania, Wakmann instead of Breitling, Wittnauer instead of Longines, or Daniel Jean Richard instead of GP. Seeing as I've never owned any Longines chronographs, and I don't think you could find many GP chronos under $2K in steel if they even made any, so I'll ask:

Is it a Tissot?

(if not, it's a Wakmann just like the Breitling Long Plaing I used to own)

 

Well, I did have the inside track on knowing what I used to own. However, with only 8 questions to go, we need somebody who would be versed in Breitling / Wakmann sister brands. That ain't me so I'm out.

Please note that no questions were asked in the posting of this information.

 

That was the Breitling that aaabayer was selling?

Sorry Lou - did not see this until now. Congratulations! It looks like it is in perfect shape. I got in contact with the Swedish telephone companys "retired employees club" to get info on what they were used for. This is difficult in English - they used them for timing the automatic switch boards. You paid (payed?) according to time used and the switch boards were set up to intervalls. These intervalls had to be checked by personell now and then. In the beginning they used hand held chronographs. These were misplaced and lost all the time and the remedy was to issue the "timing personell" with Breitling Long Playing chronographs... Rebranded as AB Kronometer, Stockholm (AB meaning - share holding company).

Congratulations on a really nice watch! Maybe not the sexiest of uses among issued watches - not a moon watch or SAS (neither Scandinavian Airline Systems nor Special Air Service) - but still issued. And it looks a lot more expensive than what it costs. Who really need a godzillion dollar Daytona when you can get a AB Kronometer, Stockholm for a fraction and get all the girls anyway...
