How collectable is a 18k pink gold Breiting 777 chronograph?

Of course, it depends on condition and whether it has the correct handset.

Fred and I are having a bit of an inside joke. We're talking about a watch for which a posting with images was made on the Timezone Breitling forum.

I think the dial is the same as the 781 pictured on page 113 of Richter. Of course, it's better to have the watch in hand.

Bill, not doubting the authenticity of that dial, just that it started life in a 777 - taking a rather pointless OP quite a bit off topic, though...l.

Has a Venus 170 movement. All but the second had is original, but looks close enough to original. Just need to finish fitting the new stem and crown then I'll post pics.

Venus 170 would make it not collectible, but I assume you mean a 175, subdials at 3 and 9.

Dial and hands are the same as this one.

It has one of these movements in it.

Once it's finished I'll post some pics, hopefully the pics will be up by tomorrow.

seems correct, including the hands and movement, dial is correct too, though I do not see if it is marked "Premier" ? case was produced in 1945.
