Hi guys!

I'm considering a vintage Breitling that's for sale on a local watch forum. Unfortunately I'm not very used to Breitling as a brand as I have tiny wrists ( :cheer: ) so I'm mostly into other brands..
But I really like this vintage piece that is around 36mm, pictures below.

Could you please take a look and inform me about your thougts about it? I'm interested in everything from model, movement, if it's real etc. Any information is helpful. :)

Oh, it's apparently in need of a service as the chrono function won't run properly. The seconds hand stops.

Thanks a lot for your time and expertise! :bow:

Very nice indeed, you don't see too many of those around. Well worth the TLC to get it running properly again.

Thanks guys!
Any idea what would be a right price for it, assuming that it was already serviced? (That way I could subtract what the service costs around here..)

They aren't immensely valuable - $750 - $1,250 depending on condition, service history, etc. The box should add a little to that value. The seller has to be prepared to sell for a reasonable price because the repair costs are uncertain at this point.

Thanks a lot Roffensian, it's not the first time you help me out when drooling over a vintage Breitling. Maybe this will be the one for me? ;)
