The Breitling Watch Source Forums :: View topic

Save yourself time and effort and never, ever consider buying anything from the seller of the 3rd piece - a well known seller of suspect and worse pieces (and the logo on that one proves the point). The second one is from the same seller so same advice applies, steer well clear.

The first one has some Breitling elements - the case looks correct to me, but still stay away - 2936 is a central seconds model and this one obviously has small seconds so has had a different movement and redial put in what appears to be a genuine case.

Can you advice any trusted Breitling sellers?

If Breitling has ever made square/rectangular shape watches?
I've seen a lot of "vintage" or vintage watches offered.

Is this particular one fake as well?

Breitling did produce rectangular watches, both 3-hand and chronographs, rare.

1st is from Buenos Aires, junk like almost all watches from Argentina, Ecuador, Uruguay,Peru.

2nd and 3rd are mass produced China junk - offered by a bunch of sellers, worthless.

4th seems to be a correct ref. 2525, although the serial no. seems strange, massively overpriced.

Is there any price estimation info on vintage Breitling?

China junk from the US.

Ok. Thank you. Is there any price estimation info on vintage Breitling? Can you make a guess on ref. 2525? What is the price average for it?
