Looking at serial numbers on old Breitlings on here and E bay etc i have seen 560330 dated as 1943 also 505487 dated as 1940,so my serial of 462599 could be 1939 ? Any ideas. Thanks Mike. |

There are two issues at play: 1) Chronographs and non chronographs have different serial number ranges for each year 2) Before 1944 there is no reliable record of years Your serial number could be a pre 1944 chronograph, a 1949 non chrono or a fake / frankenwatch (not suggesting that it is, but we have to open up the possibility). Post some pictures (ideally dial, inside and outside caseback and movement) and we'll soon tell you! |

Its a typical chonograph of that period with an unmarked bridge on a Venus 175 movement,it has a personal inscription dated 1944.I have read many times on here about no reliable records before 1945 so i wondered how people come up with these dates,are they just educated guesses ? Mike. |
