Looks okay to me... a movement shot would be even more okay... Don't pay no more than a grand for it... unless you really really want it but on average that's how much these go for... that box is nice... never seen one before... |

Dial looks fine, case is OK, but not convinced about the pushers / tubes - they are sticking out a long way. I think that the crown is ok though. Movement should be a 188, and I really would want to see it before bidding. |

I think pushers/stems are ok, the one on 4 is just not mounted properly ? case plating very worn & looks a bit strange, rosé replated ? Craig will know. watch case definitely needs some TLC, u have to factor in those costs, so the 1k would be quite high, but in the end you would have a nice vintage TT. box is nice, but not period correct & probably not original Breitling. although everything points to a correct TT, something is strange: the 2000s should have the serial number engraved below the model ref., I do not see this in the pics ? |

The box is a genuine, much later, leather covered Breitling box used for special models after 2000. It looks gold on my PC but would be nice if the strap tang buckle was 18k. |
