I inherited a Breitling Top Time watch and would like to know a bit more about it.
It does work but has obviousley had a hard life and does need some remedial work although I'm not sure if its worth a major overhaul, I would how ever be interested to know a bit more about it.

The watch has the following markings inside of s/s case BREITLING WATCH LTD, SWISS, 1020323 (Stamped) and the following numbers hand engraved 689rg379 & L278Y38/8

I guess the first number is the serial /No but I wondered if the other numbers are significant.

Can anyone give me an idea of the age? The face is black with a off white outside edge showing a series of numbers counting from 1000 @ 1.00 to 60 @ 12.00 and it has the normal 60 sec movement @ 9.00 and 45 mins @ 3.00

The watch needs a new glass as the the one fitted does not seem to fit correctly and the winder is missing its connecting piece to allow winding and time adjustment. at the moment a watch makers screwdrive is used for winding but I cant adjust the time. The face has some wear around the outer edge although I don't mind that.

The watch has sentimental value so I guess I'll have it done but what would a ball park figure be as to the value of the watch?

Thanks for reading this and thanks for the forum.

Seasons Greetings to all.
