Hi everyone, I am new to vintage breitling. Just wanna learn more about it. For my guide is the watch a franken. As i use the beadcount method from the below website http://www.vintage-breitling.com/?page_id=142 and find that the ebay watch has too few beadcounts for its era. Do advise. Thank you so much friends. Link is as below Erik http://www.ebay.com/itm/321792055065?_t ... EBIDX%3AIT |

The guide you are using refers to models that are earlier than the auction model you are looking it. These are referred to as "beads of rice" - little round dots. Your bezel, along with the white subdials, shows the watch is from a later period than rice-bezeled versions. Perhaps there is a serial number inside the case back? You can get a year of manufacture from that. http://www.vintage-breitling.com/?page_id=669 |

do you not expect WOG/BOG marking in '67 still? |

67 would be transitional (I thought) between WOG and nothing but more importantly , I believe the dial has been relumed, well done but still relumed |
