Can't tell if the ref. number is legit because I don't have sources but according to my eyes it does look okay and consistent... a movement shot would definitely help though... a very nice dress piece! |

Richter describes the 4501 as "round case, small second", so this seems correct. Nice piece, although, imho, priced quite optimistically ? |

$300-$500 watch probably from the late 1950's early 1960's. |

Definitely a correct exterior, probably an OK movement as these aren't worth seeking out hard to find movements for, price, well, I'd pay it for a job lot of 10 of them. |

This brings me to a question I have.... What is a price range I should be seeking out for a late 40's thru early 60's 18k dress peice? I was thinking that anything under $2500 would fit in my budget fine, but from the sounds of it, even $1000 might be too much to pay for a three hand vintage Breitling. Thanks for the help guys. |

Not all pieces are created equal, but yes, even with current gold prices, sub $1,000 should be the expectation. |

It's gold plated not 18k (stainless back). Anything over $500 is too much. |

Still need to order my Richter book from Amazon so I can do some of my own research. Looking through ebay and chrono24 I dont see a whole lot of options when it comes to vintage Lings. Do you fellas have any suggestions as to other trusted sites that can be browsed? |
