Wish it had a Breitling crown. Finding one to match will be a chore. I wouldn't restore this one except for the crystal and crown. It's funny in the antique world patina is everything. Remove the original aged finish and you drastically affect the value. |

From the picture, doesn't the black dial look peeled off in the 8 to 10 O Clock area? |

There is similar staining around 12 and agree that is patination (  ) on the dial.

The more I look at this one the less I like it. Might have a slightly twisted lug too. I'm out on this one. |
