Hi, What do you think of this Breitling Vintage from the 1940s? Is it an adequate price and does it look like an original? Mark |

dial refinished, bridge marking incorrect for the period, price on the high side for a perfectly correct piece. |

Thank you - that means an incorrect bridge marking indicates its not an original? |

it is a basically authentic watch, but, as I wrote above, dial is refinished and, as we often see with such refinished/overrestored peices, an engraving has been added the movement bridge that was not used by Breitling during the period this watch was manufactured. |
