Vintage chronograph

Answering questions regarding what you should expect to get for your vintage watch at auction or from a dealer. You may also ask if questions regarding the authenticity of your watch here.
Forum rules
In order to provide a reasonable appraisal, we will need at least 3 of the following:

1) A picture of your watch. This is done using the "upload" feature.
2) Model number if known.
3) The case material, Silver, Steel or Gold, etc.
4) Case diameter & overall condition.

Due to the demands placed on my mailbox, I do not answer such inquires by direct mail. You must post your question here. Direct eMails regarding appraisals will be deleted and not answered.

Please note: Almost ALL the small ladies "cocktail" watches of brands such as Bulova, Gruen, Hamilton, etc., with gold trading at record prices are trading at or near scrap.

What could this be worth?
I am unfamiliar with the brand, some googling made me wonder if there was a connection with Wakman?

36 mm, plated case, 7733 mvmnt.

I think Wakmann was the US distributor, and Gigandet was the Swiss brand.

How about value from a private seller these days?

Maybe $450-600. It's not all that collectible and the Valjoux 7733 isn't one of my favorites.
