I have my fathers Wakmann watch I'm curious about. It's apparently a stainless steel case marked on the back "acier inoxydable" #3530. It has 3 small dials in the main face, and two buttons flanking the stem to use them. On the face it also reads "17 jewels, shock protected"

Is it just 3 sub dials or 3 sub dials with day/date/month?

The largest of the three sub dials is at the 6 position and is numbered 1 thru 12. At the 3 position is one of the smaller sub dials with 30 at the top, 10 at the 4 position, and 20 at the 8 position. The other small sub dial at the 9 position has 60 at the top, 20 at the 4 position, and 40 at the 8 position. In addition, around the face of the watch are very small numbers with 60 at the 12 and as they go counter clockwise start increasing by units of 5 then 10 then 20 etc.

It's a 3 Register chronograph, there are many models, so unless a picture is provided I can't really estimate, but it is generally $400 and up.
