Appears to be a good deal if authentic but looks like dial may be a redo. Book says Valjoux movement but seller says Venus. It could have either? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Breitling-Datora-ref-805-Rare-/270981259904?pt=Wristwatches&hash=item3f17bde280 |

Well the cynic in me wonders why there is no movement shot, but from memory I believe that there were Venus and Valjoux variants of these, certainly wouldn't be uncommon for triple calendars and as we know the 805 seemed to have a lot of different variants. |

there were both variants afaik, moonphase either at 12 or at 6. would defintely like to see a movement shot and a serial number, at least ! dislike the "antimagnetico" ? |

I just finished looking at that one and I think its missing it's case back. The trickster has added "stainless steel back" to the "base metal" inner cover and in dummying up the back added "Geneve" as well. I don't think I need to see the movement or inside caseback. |

you might well be right, Bill. but now cynical Fred would add & ask: double caseback on a vintage Breitling ? |

| Post subject: | Re: Datora 805 - For sale again? |
Not sure if its being resold by the previous buyer, but is listed for sale by a seller in India. Some pix are the same, but more pix are included: www.ebay.com/itm/Rare-Breitling-Full-Ca ... 1097619087 |

Doesn't look very convincing, would be interesting to see what the others think! |

Caseback is wrong, bridge engraving is wrong, no serial number, etc, etc. |

That's very fishy, looks like a scam of some sort in the offing! |
