That one should have a 'B' marked crown. This is the one I purchased last year for $750. I think $800-$1000 is the going rate. They came in three version, stainless, plated top, and 18k.

Hi Breitling lovers. What's your take on this supposedly authentic 1958 Breitling TransOcean Date Automatic Gold Top? Model 1002. See pictures below. And what do you think I should pay for it? Thanks. |

Thanks for that confirmation. Since I have no idea what these vintage transoceans are worth, could someone perhaps give me a rough estimate? The current bid is 1k dollars. |

have not seen a gold cap for some time, one was pulled standing at around 600 pounds several months ago. the best indication would be a full 18k version (very nice) from Germany that was listed several times for €1,900, then finally sold for €1,400. |

Thanks for all the info. What made me a bit suspicious was that the seller claimed the watch to have a "thick layer of 14k gold" on a stainless steel case. In other words, from what I could gather from your post, it's "just" plainly gold-plated. Anyway, it seems to go up in price as of this moment. Over 1100 bucks so far. Doesn't seem like a good deal. |
