Hi All.
I recently purchased this vintage 1940's Breitling Chrono.. I presumme everything is correct with the watch - going off the seller.

See if you can get your money back. It's a fake. The 'Breitling' has been added to the dial, wrong Landeron movement, wrong case markings. |

Thanks for you reply. I will be contacting the seller for a refund... Can you please let me know what it should have? Thanks. |

Well for a start it shouldn't have the name of two makers on the dial! Can't really say what this should have because it's not based on any real vintage Breitling. |

sound a little strange, as the link Paul hqs posted was on my vintagejunk watchlist for the last three days or so, so it was not recently relisted. |

I contected the Seller 'Nick' who was very decent about it and offered me a full refund on it when it arrives back to him on Monday. To be fair - he seemded surprised at the comments regarding the dial and markings. He said he will be re-listing it and he's quite confident it will sell again. |

This is the first Breitling I've ever purchased, and my knowledge of them is very limited. Perhaps with hine-sight, I should of hung around here first before making a purchase... |

There were a few retailers, like LIP, that had a special arrangement to sell Breitling's but not usually separate manufacturers. Next time just run whatever you're interested in past this forum and we will be glad to help you out. |
