Hi all. Found this online and price seems too good to be true. Is this real? I know the strap is a replacement. Can anyone identify the model? Seller says its from the 50s but cannot identify [url]http://m.ebay.com.au/itm/181320441786?nav=SEARCH [/url] Pete |

Difficult to see any detail due to the size of the pictures. Prior to the 1950's for sure. Unusual to have a signed bridge which would make me ask the seller for larger pics before bidding. |

Couldn't get any pics of the movement but here is a better shot of the face. Thoughts?? |

Well bigger photo of the face, not necessarily better. Hands wrong, crown wrong, not completely convinced by the dial and movement is still a mystery - I would stay clear as there are many better examples out there. |

Cheers for that Roffensain. Might rethink! In your experience is this typically the sign of a fake, or years of Frankenstein repair jobs? Sorry.. new to the vintage watch thing! Pete |

There are a lot of franken / fakes out there and in the absence of good photos you have to wonder what the seller is trying to hide. It's obvious that some elements are a long way from original - the crown for example so if someone didn't care enough to even get a close to original crown then why would they care if anything else was original? |

Cheers again Roff and everyone else. Might steer clear of this one. Unfortunately the budget doesn't extend to buying a "good" breitling so it might have to go back on the wishlist in favour of a tissot or mondaine or something.. appreciate all the feedback and advice! |
