Hi guys,
This one looks like a 100% Breitling and not Breitling Wakmann Gigandet März Datora , what do you think about it?

Did Breitling have a 785 that looked like that? I would have thought that's a redone Wakmann triple date dial with a fake Breitling stamp. Also dial looks too fresh.

You can see that the inside caseback has been machined down to remove the "Charles Gigandet" markings.

It's probably one Breitling should have made but didn't because it would have been competeing against the Wakmann at a more expensive price.

Yes friends , as far as I know Breitling never cased any Valjoux 730, but this one looks really good , "triple-signed" + goodies, much work to make it credible especially on case back, maybe just a bad mark to the hands. Dangerous !
