I am new to this, but I believe this is quite the typical Frankenwatch...

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... SS:GB:1123

an 806 with a date?

Also, the serial number is supposed to be 9030015, as far as I can tell there are no 7 digit serial numbers starting with a "9"... the case back is obviously from somewhere else entirely..

At least he's not saying it's a vintage 806..

This looks like a Navitimer 7806 launched in 1972 with the Valjoux 7740 movement.

I don't know enough about vintage models to spot the problems but I agree the case back looks to be from another watch.

Indded it does.

Caseback is non Breitling, movement photos are non existent (now why might that be?).

Best case scenario it may be fine with a replacement caseback, but why would you risk it.
