At least 99%. If it were right with that serial number it woould be more than 60 years old which makes you wonder how the dial looks like it was produced yesterday (which it was). |

He says the dial was redone and he apparently used the wrong font for 1951. The case and dial design are actually ok for the early 1950's as is the movement marking but my only real concern is there's no reference number which is problematic. |

all Breitling watches (well, some exceptions, among them the earliest Navitimers, two dive watches and some very late models) from the early 1940s onwards carry model reference numbers. these numbers are typically on the caseback (two late mid 1970s exceptions again) - most outside, missing on the watch u posted, some inside the caseback; should be 3- or 4-digit. |
