The Breitling Watch Source Forums

Hello all,
Long time lurker, 1st time post....

Just bought this vintage Breitling 2reg chronograph.
To my untrained eyes, this appears to be authentic.
Marking on dial looks original (no re-done).

S/N : 387591
Movement : Venus 170 (haven't opened yet)
Lug-to-Lug : 37.3mm, Dia w/o crown :32mm, Thickness : 12.7mm

I checked lesmala net but couldn't get the answer.
Does anyone know the manufacture year of this watch?

Thank you in advance!

Sorry, doesn't look original to me.

Guilloche dial on a piece supposedly this old and the logo on top of the scales don't make sense to me.

Thank you for your input.

I agree that putting logo on marking is dumb idea, however I found exactly same model on "museum shop online de" so I thought this was real.

Anyway I might return this piece if expert like you says so... This watch still looks so real, tho.

Thanks

Pushers are wrong, they should have rounded ends. Without movement and inside caseback pictures it will be hard to provide an informed opinion on authenticity. Based on what is shown, I would not be inclined to think it is a real Breitling.

Oh dear.

That's rather a lot of nails in its coffin.

Just because the pictures at that location are high quality, that doesn't make the pieces real. That individual has been banned from eBay for peddling fakes and now continues to peddle them through associated companies. He has also been banned from this site using multiple usernames (although I suspect that he still has an active account that he uses only for PMs).

The Breitliing clearly looks added and rather poorly done on the close up, even to my VERY untrained vintage eye.
