Hello everyone,

First of all, this is my first message here, so: Hi to everybody :bounce: .

I'm a vintage watch collector based in Switzerland and am known on a french speaking forum (horlogerie-suisse.com) and am also a member on the Heuer "onthedash" platform.

I'm creating this post because as a Breitling noob :mrgreen: , I need your inputs about this watch that is on sale on the Swiss auction-platform "ricardo.ch": https://www.ricardo.ch/kaufen/uhren-und ... 910762944/

Is it original? Do you know which country it was built for (couldn't find any infos about these "coat of arms" while searching on google/wikipedia and there's no way for me to understand what's written on the dial :( ) ?

Thank you very much,

Have a great day,

Best,

Yuriae/Marc

Hi and welcome

As far as i can understand, seems like a present to " Al Ghabashi" written right under the Breitling. There under is written "Mecca"
And the long sentence at the bottom says about " the United Arabia"

If it is original or not, i do not know.
Here are lots if knowledgeable people who will respond soon i guess.

Bytheway, the green crossed flags & swords are of Saudi Arabia national symbol

Hi Philippe,

I was quite sure that you were going to show up pretty fast on this vintage oriented breitling sub-forum :mrgreen: !

Thanks Mortys for the translation. I was aware that the green flags and the swords probably had something to do with Saudi Arabia, but I couldn't find that particular printing/coat of arms on google or wikipedia, so thanks for confirming that!

Best,

Yuriae
