Hello everyone, this is my first visit to the site and I would appreciate any information regarding the Breitling watch in the attached photos. A local watch repair store opened the back and told me it was authentic but I am unable to find any similar watches on the internet. Thank you for any assistance. |

Welcome to BreitlingSource! The watch is indeed real, it's an unusual model from the early 90s called the Reserve de Marche - French for power reserve because the dial at 12 o'clock indicates the approximate running time remaining based on how close to fully wound the mainspring is. A few more details here - http://www.breitlingsource.com/watch_de ... er_85.html |

Thank you very much for the fast response. Any idea how I can get a value on this watch? It's part of an estate settlement |

Value is tough - don't see many gold ones. Factor on a replacement cost of around $3,500 - $4,000, slightly higher for insurance purposes. That may be a little low, but demand on these isn't that great. |
