Hello:

I'm brand new to the forum and certainky a noob when it comes to vintage Breitlings. I've mostly been collecting vintage Omegas. However, i've recently found myself very interested in the old breitling. i'm still on the hunt for a good 806 and 808.

I like the old chrono's with the subdials at 12 and 6 but it seems like there are a lot of frankens out there. I've struggled to get a comfort level with identifing authentic examples.

Is this one worth pursing?

Need to see the case back. If it's really a Breitling then at the least the hands are wrong.

I think it's fine and correct with the exception of the hands. But others should confirm.

Thanks for the feedback...

Does anyone have a picture of the correct hands? Also any suggestions for finding correct hands?
