Bought this watch fresh from Breitling Italy service - dial in very decent condition (have a look at the edges of the applied logo & numerals please, this might indicate an old redial, but the printing is so crisp I'd rather doubt this ?), crown was apparently a service replacement, running perfectly.
But like almost all base metal pieces from the 1940s and 1950s, the case was badly worn & scratched, so off it went to that rather talented case refinisher; back recently, edges still knife sharp.
Some purists may frown at the refinished case - but it is now a beautiful and very wearable vintage piece again.
