Hello, I recently bought a vintage Breitling on eBay, and I wanted to get your opinion on whether it was genuine or not. I've put below a couple of photos from the auction. Would really appreciate any help or guidance. http://tinyurl.com/cenv6ud http://tinyurl.com/cznqdbq http://tinyurl.com/bpo2osf http://tinyurl.com/dxsqlre Many thanks! |

Frst link isn't working, but was it a Chinese seller? Looks like one of the many being produced out there I'm afraid. No model number, Breitling on caseback looks off, don't like the movement engraving either. |

Thanks for the fast reply! It was a UK seller actually rather than China or Argentina which I was looking out for. I've got some more info if it's useful. The inside caseback reads "2917" and the clean movement reads "Breitling 220". Thanks again, appreciate the help. |

dial actually seems ok to me, saw several of these - most in worse condition. do not have Richter with me to verify the model, but seems alright to me for a mid 50s dress. definitely not China, I think. |

Thanks! So it could actually be genuine then? |

Looks fine to me for a watch that dates to 1956. |

I'll defer to Fred and Paul - dress watches aren't my best area. |
