Post subject: | Craigslist Find |
I know not everyone is into vintage ladies Breitling's but there were some pretty cool pieces available in the fifties and sixties. I found this one on Craigslist with horrible pictures but just enough to tell it was authentic. I had to convince the seller to agree to sell it because "all emails are usually from scammers." I overnighted payment to him and luckily he followed through and the watch arrived today. I don't have a tool small enough to get the screw off back off so will probably send it out to get a service. It's running fine and keeping time. Say Plaque G20 on the side of the case. Bracelet mounts unusually since it's a curved attachment. |

That is really nice Paul. Some of Breitling's ladies watches are a little over the top for my taste (as was the fashion of the time I guess), but that is very elegant. |

Actually I have three more coming. These two I bought last night and are nos (sellers pics). The bottom one has the original hang tag too. ![]() ![]() The third one I have on the way from the UK and it's also supposed to have the original box. Will post a pic when it gets here. |

Looks like it has some condition issues and I think it's missing most of the extra straps/bracelets that should go in those slots on the top. There's a link here for a great complete set. http://breitlingsource.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=13441&hilit=ladies |

Got one of my lady Breitlings in today. Absoultely nos with original suede strap and price tag. 1230 french Francs on the tag which in 1950 translated to $325. Quite an expensive piece back then. |

I can't believe the condition of the hang tag, never mind the watch and the strap - great pick up! |

Ditto to what Roff said... it seems like it's never been exposed to anything or worn for that matter~ great find~ |

They came from a retired jewelers vault in Paris. Evidently he had a few of them. These are the pics of the watches of which about two thirds have been sold already. My two came from this group. |
