Clebar marking, "Geneve" dial, Gen.2 Top Time Hands from the late 1960s.
on a "spectacular" Premier 760 from 1945, says Bill Shaine.

and there you thought it could not get worse.

Bill's actions are now going from highly questionable to downright wrong. He still visits this site but has obviously chosen not to comment in an extended period of time. Very disappointing from someone who used to be a respected seller.

Was waiting for you to pile in yet again on Bill San.

Actually don't think that it is a joke at all, funny or otherwise. Bill was a very highly respected seller and I find his fall rather sad, not a joke in sight.

I second this - Bill was the only one who regularly listed excellent pieces, the only place you could really direct people to that were searching for good vintage Breitlings from a reliable seller. It is truly sad.

I am frankly not surprised by former good sellers chasing money when faced with adversity or other situations and going under, with no worries about reputation. I am not piling on on Bill and only wished he would see reality. Plenty of such cases in the vintage Rolex world too and it only goes downhill from here for those sellers going down that route.
