http://cgi.ebay.fr/ANTIKER-VINTAGE-BREI ... 27cea1c2fc Too clean to be real ! "Ziffernblatt: wunderschönes originales Ziffernblatt mit Patentnummer 217012" is a lie : SN 760271 dates it from 1950, and dials stamped "Breitling Genève" start from 1952. The hands are clearly WRONG .  Considering those defects, a "good" price would be under 50% of the 2190€ starting price!

Phil, contacted the seller to ask who did the dial refinishing, he knows it is refinished but claims not to know who did the work. for a collector it reduces the value, but for the "casual" vintage aficionado, the contrary seems true. here is an example of a refinished 769 - all this seller's watches have refinished dials, he never admits/mentions it in his extensive descriptions - and look at the price this and most other of his watches achieve: http://www.ebay.com/itm/290834178808 yes, $3,300. |
