I wondered if anyone can give me any information on this watch. I went to a local auction to buy a 1942 Rolex, but left with this, did I do the right thing?
The serial number is 784 586217
Thanks
Gary

Hello Gary,

Nice piece! Looks to me like it's legit! The patina and markings seem correct on the dial and the movement is unsigned, which is a good signal. Early Breitlings didn't have signed movements. The pushers are the typical square shape as well. Based on the serial number, I would date this piece to 1945 so the numbers are right. Paul, any thoughts, sir??

Very nice full calendar Datora from 1945. Nice to see one untouched. If it runs good I'd leave it alone.

Nice watch!
