Just saw this one. Is it an authentic model?

It's not really necessary to answer, because I really wonder what (or who) happened to the dial? Why on earth would you carve things into the dial?

Didn't bother hitting the books to see if it's right, but it's definitely a genuine Breitling - as to why someone would ruin the dial in this way, I have no idea!

So many questions, why? how? and also anyone wanting to buy it, why? Also the price, i guess this is in Swedish KR, buy it now price of £600? Bonkers. (My Scandinavian linguistics are non-existent, so i may have this wrong)

Quite a nice watch apart form the vandalism!

I agree - why would anyone buy it in this condition? The only reason would be if it was more or less for free and you would restore it (taking that cost into the calculation). But for a "buy-it-now" price of approx $1130 (yes, the currency is Swedish Krona) I don't think so...

That would be an OK, but not great, price for one that didn't need any work. 60s / 70s Datoras just aren't worth that much.
