On the back it says 1157 I can't find any info on this model. And tell me if you think it is a fake, and if it is not what is a value on a vintage 50s watch like this one. Thanks

I suspect that the dodgy photos are deliberate as the seller knows that it isn't real, and if it were real it would still be too expensive.

Yeah, that sounds about right. What would it be worth if it were real?


What is missing from the photos?

You regularly see real Breitling 3 hand autos go for $300 - $400, and unfortunately you regularly see fakes sell for more.

Nothing is missing from the photos, they just avoid things like, being in focus, showing the dial straight on, etc. Makes it hard to clearly see things like the bad logos. The one thing that is missing is any serial number, seller could claim that it's on the inside of the caseback (which he hasn't shown), but if it is it won't be consistent with the Breitling serial number range.
