sometimes (most,, actually) I have no time to go through Richter to verify things, but only have a look at the lists at the end, there "799" is defined as "3-register with a small date ring", is Mr. Richter confused or am I ? |

There are many errors in the Richter list. In the case of 799 there are three registers and three registers with moonphase. |

would this not be a great project for this forum ? an easy to read Ref list for vintage pieces would be a great resource, I would gladly participate with a basic list the experts could comment and correct ? and, looking at page 40, should the Datora above not have the code 800 ? |

Gold "Master Mark" is (if I see correctly) '103' the "103" was used by : Baumann Benguerel & Co. 21.7.1934 Jaquet & Etevenard 1957 A. Jaquet 1972 Pro-Boîtes SA 1977 to 7.2.1995 (bankrupt) As far as I am aware not a casemaker that was used by Breitling ? , or am I just completely mistaken and was 103 used by Breitling and I just havent seen any (without doubt authentic) Breitling watches yet with this Master Mark ? |

I am with Roff on the bridge engraving - its been done recently and not by Breitling. This is a Breitling Dawhora! Beyond LOL on the price! |

The price has gone up euro 10,000 since the last time we talked about this watch when it was at eBay in December. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... 8FDpQ%253D A search of "799" turns up our other discussions of these watches, each marked differently. I still think a watch with a case dated 1947 should look like the 799 in the 1946 catalog. In other words, no moonphase. There are enough of these with a wide variation of cases and movements and markings that I wonder what's going on here. Moonphase mania? |

More moonphases around than rattys and if you want to produce a high price, not particularly well documented vintage Breitling those are your options. |

http://www.ebay.com/itm/BREITLING-799-D ... 6931895853 the "Dawhora" (copyright chronodeco) is back at a discount of 75%. no pic of the questionable 103 Master mark this time and, surprise, no bridge engraving. |
