Hi guys,
My brother in law is turning forty and his very clever wife would like to buy him a Vintage Breitling :lingsrock: . She has asked me to check on these four watches to see is they are the real deal. Any thoughts? Thanks all!

OK, let's take them one at a time.

The seller claims that the first one is from the 1950s (and the serial number is actually 1945) - does that dial look 60+ years old to you? To me at best this is a redial and it might not be a Breitling at all - the signing on the movement bridge also looks wrong to me (although these were sometimes unsigned so someone could have added it later to a real Breitling, mistakenly thinking that they were adding value). The caseback does look OK to me. It could be OK with a redial, but I'm suspicious.

The second one isn't a vintage watch, it's a mid 90s Colt and looks real. Be aware though that it is quartz, not mechanical

Third one isn't vintage either, it's another 1990s watch. It looks fine from what I can see, but I would want better pictures.

The last one, well least said about this one the better - total garbage. There is a time only model 2936, and the case is similar to this. The dial and hands are completely wrong, and I'm not happy about the movement either.
