What do you think about this one? Is it authentic? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/72-BREITLING-INDY ... 5ad469d807 |

Authentic. Too much money but authentic. This one has been on ebay a couple of times. There also some Indy 500 versions with Marlboro as the sponsor. Generally they tend to go for less than the normal dialed variety unless someone has a connection to the sponsor. I think they were for participating in the event vs actually winning the Indy 500. |

Definitely real. I have one and have physically seen another. I am not 100% certain but I believe these were for top sellers (either dealerships or salesmen). I also agree it is overpriced. |

Well, I am once again exposing my ignorance, I see it has the opening bid!!! Maybe I should re-evaluate my collection. |

Quote: I also agree it is overpriced. Why it should be overpriced ? For a usual Top Time you have to pay about 800,- $ , but but this version is a thousand times rarer . Its a real bargain for a big Breitling collection. |

Just because it is rare doesn't automatically make it valuable. |

If your definition of "real" collector is paying too much for watches and then overvaluing them, then you are correct, I am not a "real" collector. |

A real collector understand and can distinguish, what is real rare and collectible and what is cheap mass-produced, can be bought from any shop around the corner everywhere in the world. |

Ooooooooo, sexy!!! I like that alot! I don't know anything about the price BUT I can something about the seller. I had my 2111N from this seller and he was excellent! Shipped it in a well packaged box, helped out with customs etc. To be trusted I would say! Wish I had a grand spare.
