| Post subject: | Cadette on Ebay, real or fake? |
Hello, First time here, and definitely newbie. I found this auction on EBay Italy: http://www.ebay.it/itm/321049420351?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649#ht_4694wt_1057 I could not find any reference to a Brietling cal 19 movement, but may be I searched in a wrong way due to my inexperience. Can you gurus spot if it is an obvious fake or not? Should the watch be genuine what would be a fair price? It is reasonable to to buy a vintage brietling for less than 300€? Thanks |

Interesting. Doesn't look obviously wrong, but would like to see model and serial numbers on the caseback. |

Hi, thanks for the reply. The auction description says the back cover has no marks or writings, hence I am assuming the cover is not the original one. |

If there are no markings then you have to assume that the watch is franken - wrong caseback will mean wrong case 99% of the time. |

I've learned over the years that anything described as 'oversized' in regards to a Breitling generally isn't a genuine Breitling. Very very few watches were produced by them that would be considered large and they usually are 34-36mm. There are a few early exceptions but not many. This watch has gold hands and gold batons on the dial which, to me, would mostly be found in a gold or gold plated watch not a stainless steel version. I think it's been recased. |

Thanks for the valuable info. More in general, it reasonable to buy a simple Brietling vintage watch, similar to this one, for around 300€ (350 USD)? |
