Hi All,

I'm looking for a nice vintage Breitling watch. There's lot's of choice but i'm not an expert when it comes to identifying if the watch is genuine or fake. Could you help me out on the two wathches below?

link 1 is junk

link 2 is one of those rare surprises from Argentina - dial is refinished, but watch seems correct;
according to Richter ref. 1354 is "round case, small seconds, strong band attachment".

#2 is definitely correct other than the refinished dial.

That second one should have the movement stamped 'Breitling' on it somewhere for a 1950's model. Wouldn't buy it unless it has a six digit serial number inside the back cover for sure.

it does have Breitling stamped, Paul.

re pricing: anything above 300 would be unwise, but afraid it will go higher.

Had another look and it does seem to have a rough 'Breitling' inscribed. Still, no serial number, no buy. :wink:

I've asked the seller about the serialnumber. We'll see!
