The Breitling Watch Source Forums

Hi!

I'm new to this forum.

I have a question. Is this Breitling a oryginal one ? It looks very good but it is not easy for me to identify is it genuine or not ?

Thanks for your help!

Best regards!

Well my Polish isn't very good, but I can translate the pictures

It could well be a model 176, or at least a 17x - there were a lot of similar variants. That would put it early 50s with a Venus 170 inside it, though I think that at least one of the subdial hands is non original.

However, I have to wonder why there are so many photos of just the front of the watch, and with no closeups to see whether the dial is original.

Before I ever considered buying it I would want to see:

1) Close up of the dial
2) Both sides of the caseback, including model and serial numbers
3) Pictures of the movement

Without that it could be anything - heck from those pictures it could be an empty case.

Dial has been refinished. Be very cautious about this one. Craig
