Well I have been offered this.....
Any hints/clues as to confirming what it says it is??!
is there an FL no. on the side of the case? i know the navi-nonchrono's used the thommen cal.31 movement couldnt say much about the chrono.
im sure it will be ok to post this link as its for info only..... http://www.knirim.de/ you should find most of what you need here.
Superb. I wish I could pull off a 55mm watch!
I'm not sure I can! People who aren't in the know would think I'm crazy if I wore it out!
I know next to nothing about these so can't really contribute much at all but to say that the now very rare chrono-push-button-in-the-crown feature your Wempe B-Uhr uses has always struck me as a neat way to do it. If my memory is correct, Hamilton made some (Model 23) pocket chronos like this for issue to U.S. aviators flying against the Nazis during WWII so it must have been a fairly common way to engineer single pusher chronographs at the time
That looks very suspicious to say the least, I've never seen one of those before...It looks like a Kharkov-Ukrainian dreamt up watch. Pictures of the back, inside back and movement would put paid to speculation!
It looks like a Pocket Chrono as in Lobner or Lunser Minerva 19-9-CH, or Leonidas Cal 45C was used as the movement donor (pre WW2).
One thing for certain that it's not...A Nav B-Uhr

Thanks for the replies, having spoken to someone who has worked on/sold lots of these types of watches that one is not for me, I've found a rather nice IWC though..... At 25k!! That one shall remain a distant dream!
Sounds like you listen to the warning, maybe also from Andy Leftley ?

Yes indeed, he is a thoroughly helpful and knowledgeable chap.
Does the "Wempe" include an original box?
Haha!
Do you hawe more pictures of this watch?
No unfortunately not, I can you put you in touch with the person selling it if you would like?
If is not problem put me in touch with your friend who sold this beautiful watch!
If you read the post the watch is most likely a fake from the Ukraine don't think you want to contact the seller of fake watches you mite get burned.
