| Post subject: | Breitling Top Time |
Been looking at the 2-subdial Top Time's; this one sold recently on e-bay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/BREITLING-1970I ... 1c3199df29 It is listed as a Venus 178 and has an 810 caseback--however only 2 subdials, so I decided not to bid on the watch. I don't know much about this model. Do any of our experienced collectors have an opinion on the authenticity of this watch? Thanks for your help. blitey4 |

a real Frankenwatch and good you did not bid in it. Gen II 810 case, Venus 175 not 178, dial and hands are from a late 1960s ref. 2000, dial is not only wrong but much too small for the case. authentic components, though. strange seller, Yvonne; sometimes has excellent pieces, but often slips in blatantly wrong watches and does not even blink when informed but claims to know better, being Swiss and all ...... |

Thanks for the advice WatchFred. I have enjoyed looking at the pictures of your Top Time watches that you posted. That's what got me interested in this model. blitey4 |
