http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... 0035447557 This watch is listed on ebay. The seller seems to have a lot of vintage Breitling watches for sale, and is from Argentina. Has anyone dealt with this seller before? Any help would be appreciated. |

Could be pieced together, a "frakenwatch". Sounds awfully cheap. ~Brian |

There are a huge number of South American Breitlings showing up right now on eBay, especially from Argentina. The vast majority are, as Flynbyu suggests, Frankenwatches - they are mostly or completely Breitling, but they didn't start life as the same watch. With this particular watch I believe that the face and case started life together, but the caseback is different and the movement is different again. My personal policy is never to touch an Argentinian sourced watch - I've passed on some gorgeous pieces that I am 99% sure are right, but I just do not trust these watches - I would stay clear - well clear. |
