another one that makes me scratch my head, more than that, it might
prove me (and many others) wrong, who claimed these watches were
never produced by Breitling or under the Breitling Datora branding.
Seller claims 1969, which it isn't, serial no. would date it to 1965,
the script "B" on the caseback COULD be a bit off, hands are a type
I never saw on a Breitling, the dial looks a bit too good to be true,
the chrono hours subdial at 6 MIGHT show signs of refinishing -
but overall pretty convincing.
all the identical watches we have seen under different brands
had "Charles Gigandet" marked as the manufacturer inside the
caseback, this one has Breitling stamped; there is no WOG,
although it should be there until 1967.
Why this model should have remained under the radar for almost
50 years is the real question, Breitling did a lot of adverstising in
the boom years of the mid 60s, had the Raquel Welch, James Bond
and various other product placement campaigns - catalogs were
published around the globe and remain available until today -
nowhere was this model listed ........
egg in my face - or a master Frankenfaker ?https://www.chrono24.com/en/breitling/d ... chTypeId=U
