The Breitling Watch Source Forums

this chronograph is being sold by a Jewelery store in NY. They sell lots of different preowned watches. They are selling this for $3,500. Do you think that is a fair price? I like the look of it, I just want to make sure it is worth the asking price.

Manually wound movement, chronograph with 45 minute counter, and sub seconds.

Stunning condition.

$3,500 for that - they are dreaming.

Dial looks like it's been redone and would want to see photos of the caseback and movement because would be surprised if they were original.

This would actually be funny, if they did not try to sell this for that ridiculous sum !

I am also collecting nice Chronographe Suisse, guess what I found among them ?

Meet your "Breitling", my Lykke Watch:



Also, why should this watch with a guilloche dial have "Military markings" on the back? Pure BS.

So, worth less than 10% of the asking price without the Breitling logo, if that; zero with the fake logo.

Wow now what are the odds of that?
