Dear Breitling-fans and experts on this forum,

I'm considering buying the attached Breitling Premiere two-register chronograph that I have been offered.
I have not seen this watch in person but I just love the patina of the dial. Seller states that it is authentic and nothing has been changed by the previous owner.

I would like to ask for your opinion: authentic Breitling Premiere or should I better not take this offer?

Best wishes from Hamburg

Christoph

Replacement hands, looks like replacement crowns and pushers as well, but otherwise looks to be OK.

Welcome to BreitlingSource.

just to add that case is (quite well) refinished, bridge marking wrong for the period, so "nothing has been changed" seems a stretch.

thank you for this! value of this watch >1500 EUR?
By looking at similar auctions / vintage watch stores for this 760 type (steel, not gold) I couldn't really pin point a relevant price range for this model; price range seems to be quite big to my (I have to admit) unfamiliar vintage-watch eyes.

it isn't steel, but plated base metal. hands incorrect replacements, dial in sad condition (though you like the patina, that's not a very well preserved dial by any means), bridge marking incorrect for the period.

anything above 1k would be highly unreasonable, realistic value 6-800 max.
