Looking for a bit of advise on this Top Time, it's not a model i know a lot about. Coming up in a local auction to me so any comments would be of interest. Only one picture available, description below. Any guide on value would be good obviously!!

A Breitling gents wristwatch 'Toptime' chronograph 1450, No. 1438145, in stainless steel tonneau case and replacement (Seiko) strap, the black face having hour batons and three subsidiary dials, date c1979, (inscription verso).

Franken.

case ref. 1450 is a "LongPlaying", Valjoux 7736. 1,438,xxx means case was produced in 1975, not 1979.

dial is from a TopTime ref. 810, hands wrong for both ref. #s

Thanks Fred, looks like one to be avoided.
