Just FYI - Breitling used VERY few Landeron movements in their chronogaphs and they were not signed with the older script signature on the chrono bridge. In 8 years I have only seen 2 or 3 ligit Landeron based Breitlings that were made in the 60s and the bridges were signed in caps and they all had black 60s styled dials.

http://cgi.ebay.com/18K-ROSE-GOLD-BREIT ... dZViewItem I haven't seen any legit Landerons so you are up on me - in fact I always doubted that Breitling ever used Landeron. This is clearly wrong - the serial number is completely inconsistent - it would date to sometime in the 1920s and even ignoring the Landeron movement the engraving looks later. |

I wish I had kept one of the correctly signed Breitlings that had the Landeron movement. The bridge had the 60s style signature similar to the ones on the Navitimer (parallel to the 2 jewels) and given that this was over 5 years ago, I am pretty sure they were real (before most of the fakes started). That particular stamping would be very hard to fake. If I ever see another, I will post it. Surely you would think that there would be some record of this? Craig |
