It must be about a year since one came up. It'll be interesting to see what effect the dial has on the value - it should still be well up there. |

Looks very nice~! Also, forgive my lack of knowledge, but how do these rattrapantes work? and what purpose do they serve? |

redone dial, crown not original, no reference number, the case is not like Breitling, the pushers are not for this case, and look the 2. movement holder screw. Was it a Breitling or is it a polish Breitling ? |

To my thinking, it's just a shame that a watch of unique character has been defaced for the sake of avarice. I wish I knew how this watch started life. I wish there was a court to take such crimes against horomanity. I wax goofy sometimes. I admit it. |

If you look on page 105 in the Richter book you'll see a similar Duograph with the third button in the crown however it also has a 12hr sub register at the 6 o'clock position. On page 110, lower left ref 764, you see the same basic movement with only the two sub registers and no third button in the crown and also a Duograph it appears. So is the three button configuration correct for the 3 sub registers or two sub registers? |

I don't share quite teh cynicism of others - it's wrong, but I don't think that it's that wrong. Not sure on the pushers - need to dig into that. jlee5050 - a ratty works by having two chrono seconds hand, one of which can be stopped independently as a split timer, and then restarted and it 'catches up' to the first chrono seconds. |

If it was really a Breitling, it would be a nice collector's piece, because I don't think a "flipper" could get any profit from putting that back on the market. It's just too wrong. So, some innocent collector scored this in a private auction by a dubious seller and boy, oh boy, will they be brokenhearted to find out it's not a Breitling. Or, I think you are suggesting that another unscrupulous soul has acquired this to perform another re-badging to pass it off as a Rolex for a multiple of the price. Lordy. You may be right. |
