Hey guys! I would like to ask you, to help me! I got this from my father, a few years ago. Can you tell me anything about it? I'm very interested, but here in Hungrary noone could inform me. So thanks for any replies! Attachment: watch.jpg

Can you provide a photo of the caseback as well please. Ideally we would also like to see the movement and the inside of the caseback. Welcome to BreitlingSource. |

sure, here is the movement: Attachment: movement.jpg and unfortunatly i think that it doesn't have its original caseback, but i can take a photo of it, if it helps to find out something... |

Movement shot is helpful, but seeing the front and back of the case back will help. Or at least we will know for sure if it's original. |

if the back is not the original one it will be hard to say anything definite, including exact age. I do like the fact the movement bridge is unsigned, which would be correct for the period, am not too happy w/ the Breitling script on the dial, the "B" looks a bit off in this angle, though hands and dial numerals look quite correct as does the V175. some more pics will help. |

"B" looks good. still need the other pic, though, to date the watch. should you plan to sell it, a correct caseback is quite crucial. |

Very early for guilloche subdials though n'est ce pas? If the caseback is non original it also raises questions about the case as casebacks are not generally interchangeable. |

here is the inside of the caseback: Attachment: caseback.jpg the back of the caseback is empty. |

That is definitely not a breitling caseback. |

so what's the conclusion? is the whole watch fake, or is just the caseback not the original? |

I suppose there is always a rare chance that a case back could have been found to fit the case, in it's long life, but more likely re-cased. Very hard to determin if it's a legit dial/movement even. I like the looks of it. This decision is best left for the experts who reside here. |

I'm dubious about the whole piece. There may be some Breitling bits, but I don't think that it's right. |

probably a recased movement, dial, hands, those to me seem good, not the typical frankenwatch, this would habe Breitling logos plastered over the caseback and the movement, but definitely not a correct piece. |
