Seeing if I have learned anything from you vintage guys. Don't recall this reference number and does not look like anything I have seen Fred/Paul pull out of the drawer. Serial number does not look right for non-chrono. Overall I just don't see Breitling behind this. Now you will all probably tell me there are plenty and it is legit  Still learning.http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Breitli ... 20cd13d5bd |

unsure about this one, very unsure. some of these small divers HAD 5 digit serial numbers, breaking the standard; but the inner caseback shows a removed stamping and 699 is plain wrong; hands look good, as does the dial. very strange. Greg, if you read this, what is the serial no. on your Baby SO ? |

Fred said most of it. Clearly the case has had something changed on the inside, and the very faint Breitling on the outside looks like amateur hour, however the outside of the caseback looks right, and as Fred notes the five digit serial is not unheard of. The movement looks like it has WOG stamped on it and the dial looks OK other than the rather unusual double marking of Anti Shock and Incabloc. |

Hey Guys, Sorry, didn't see this. Thanks for the PM Fred. My case back reads... Breitling 63382 3865 I love the hands on the one on Ebay. Any ideas who might have any to sell?

I saw this when it first popped up and thought it was a fake. In particular the dial script looks completely wrong if you compare it to the ones in the 1969 catalog. The diver watches didn't fit the mold anyway when it comes to the ref and serial numbers but the aged appearance of the dial with the bright 'Breitling' script just looks wrong. The case design itself is pretty close and I have learned to never say never when it comes to odd Breitling pieces. |
