| Post subject: | I need help identifing 1940s(?) Breitling |
Hi guys! So, around a year ago I found my great grandfathers old Breitling. My aunt told me it was from around the 1940s, but she wasn't certain. Can someone point me in the right directions where to search/find more information? Ps. I already tried Breitling's vintage museum, with no luck. Link to Imgur album: Breitling The dial says "Breitling Incabloc" The back says "ACIER INOXYDABLE" and under that "320563 - 150" Thank's in advance guys! |

ref 150/7150, manufactured in 1945; hour hand is a replacement and incorrect. welcome to the forum. assume with "vintage museum" you are referring to that desastrous "Breitling-Museum" online - be happy that you haven't found your watch there, it is full of ridiculous fakes. |

Thank you for such a quick answer! I have a couple follow up questions: I can't seem to find any other picture of the same model or the like. Can you maybe point me in the right direction? Furthermore, what distinguishes the hand replacement? Well, yeah... Didn't know that, but thank you for the info! |

I'll see if I can find a pic - and my comment re the hour hand was plain wron, saw it on the phone only and misinterpreted the shadow; both hands seem incorrect, as. breitling in the 1940s combined lumed hands w/ lume dials. |

A pic would be great, thanks! I tried to google around a bit, and it seems like also other 1940s Breitling have these thinner hands? Is there some databank for the ref. numbers I could try to search? |
