| Post subject: | Vintage Breitling identification |
Could someone please help me identify this watch. I inherited it from my grandfather and it was probably purchased either in the 50s or 60s. The glass is not original and has been replaced. The watch also had a gold bracelet but was also replaced with the leather strap. I would like to restore the watch with the correct glass and bracelet.

seems all correct to me, Richter shows Ref. 1059-29 as round case, central second, watch is probably mid 50s, exact dating will be possible when you post a picture of the inside caseback. |

Gold mark 161 = Joseph Erard SA http://www.erardsa.ch/ If you want to make really sure contact them and ask if they made this case for Breitling |

Dial and case look like the one in the 1952 catalog shown on page 73 of Richter's book. Buy one from Benno for $75-$125 - nyuk. |
