the first rather interesting piece I saw on that forum, so had to check w/ Roff whether posting a link was ok, surprisingly it is, would be deleted in most other forums (or fora to be precise, Rene, but ...) in a NYC minute. http://forums.timezone.com/index.php?t= ... sg_6105922 Have not been able to find information about a co-branded Breitling/Tiffany Navi anywhere, so what is your take on this ? Everything I can see looks legit, if this were indeed one of those "sell off" cases, why would somebody add the Tiffany logo to it ? Would a cooperation between such a high profile reseller like Tiffany remain unmentioned ? Strange. |

If someone had described it to me I would have said fake without hesitation. Having seen it, I can find nothing at all wrong with it. Could it have been a 1978 parts distribution - sure, but it's a fairly early serial number for that. Could it have been a regular piece for sale by Tiffany and not sold prior to Breitling's disappearance from the market that Tiffany then had their name to in an attempt to increase appeal - maybe, but wild speculation on my part. It's clearly rare and would love to know the story. |

Don't see any reason to doubt the authenticity of this piece. Breitling has done other similar dials like LIP. Big plus is that it's 18k which I would expect for a Tiffany offering. |
