Thanks to all who answered my past post regarding the 791 at auction (which had been making the rounds over the years). Hopefully this one is better than the last. I see there is a 766 (non waterproof version) at the upcoming Antiquorum auction in Monaco. Lot 146: Brietling Duograph (case 542743) https://issuu.com/antiquorumgenevesa/do ... 3/50684621 Est date 1960. Looks to have Duograph on dial (have asked for better photos). Wondering if anyone has comments regarding its originality. I haven't found the case number when searching (as I should have done for the 791!). Thanks for any opinions on this watch. |

from a distance (blurry pics) I am unsure what to make of it but need better pics to ascertain whether or not it might be correct caseback caseinside movement and the current pics larger , close up and in focus would surely help |

missed that thread - catalog pics are pathetic, as Rene says, without decent hi res pics impossible to judge this piece. |

case looks genuine Breitling same case as some of the 785's and 784's of that period would still like to see an in focus dial shot , caseback and movement pics |

Thanks for the thoughts. Below is an image of a 762 (sold at Christies, June 2016), discussed here also: viewtopic.php?f=11&t=60591) I do not see the Cotes de Geneve on this 762 balance cock. But perhaps the Cotes de Geneve is found on the 766/791, but not the 762? On the 766 I am also curious about: - crown - text on minute subregister (some of the marks, and 25, 30...) - dial condition looks quite new for a 70 year old watch |

seems the decoration on the balance cock wasn't done on all, not a ref. issue I think, as my "in the metal" pic is from a ref. 764. yes, the dial looks a bit too good to be true and the logo maybe a slight bit too fat, but really hard to call. |
