Post subject: | Gold Plated Breitling 1191 |
Hi, I came across this Gold-plated Breitling on ebay. The caseback says 1191. It is said to have a V188 movt. I did a quick google search, and it seems like there's a wide variation in dials and hands types., which is quite confusing! I've attached pictures from ebay. I confess to being attracted to the "shaded quadrant" look of the dial. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() There's some wear on the plated case which I can see. I'm wondering though if the hands & crown are correct? There seem to be so many variants on the Web that I'm not sure which is a franken and which is not. My gut feel (from a noob perspective) is that hands are correct, but crown is wrong (too big?). Movt does look like a V188, the bits and bobs seem correct. Advice would be greatly appreciated - thanks in advance! |

top pusher is a service replacement, rest seems fine |

Are there genuine dials with Incabloc on them? |
