OK so I was referred here by the people at WatchUSeek forums and hope that you guys could give me some more info on this piece and if it 100% original:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/EXCELLENT-RARE- ... 20de3e1433

In case the link doesn't work... it's described as "EXCELLENT RARE 1950 BREITLING VINTAGE CHRONOGRAPH MODEL 1188 VENUS 188 CALIBER"

Thanks a ton in advance!


In terms of the movement being a swapped 188 the seller pointed to the condition and type of screws and lack of tool marks. No comments on the dial or unsigned bridge.

Watch has been around for a while, was discussed briefly here last summer - viewtopic.php?f=31&t=48725

Hands are wrong, dial is redone, movement could be right with a replacement bridge or could be pulled out of something else. Patience will deliver a better piece.

OK I greatly appreciate the information!

I have passed on it and will continue to look around for a better piece in the future.

Thanks!
