How do you tell its a Wachtler and Lange without seeing the makers mark? Just by looking at it?

Even by comparing against others on this site they all look so similar to me. The characteristics of each maker must be VERY subtle...

Wachtler & Lange EKs are probably the easiet to identify. It's a combination of frame and core characteristics.
I've attached a couple of pics I made ages ago regarding W&L EK2s. I'm trying to find the time to go through each maker in a similar way and identify the main features to look for when trying to establish which maker made a particular cross so bear with me and it will appear in time.

Adrian, if you can do that with each maker you should publish a book !!

Great info on the W&L.. as always

I think Messrs Stimson and Maerz may have beaten me to that job Nick!
I wouldn't know where to start!
