Hello Det!!
I thank you so much for your kind response and interesting info about the true movement of this Wempe watch.

I feel rather dissapointed to find that they use a Swiss movement (a good, correct one but nothing special) and sign the watch Glashutte, giving a wrong idea to me.

Of course, I love watches by the Glashutte Original brand, and of course A Lange, but prices are so, so high!! Out of my budget I regret.

The Wempe chrono retails around us$ 2.700,00, and I imagine a Glashutte original must go for much higher amount, even in pre owned market option.

May be best thing would be to stay with my present Rolex collection, and save some money till I can afford a true Glashutte watch!

I thank you very much for your info and time answering.
Receive my best cordial regards, Abel.
