First time poster and brand new member, I could really use some help getting some more information about this Breitling I picked up locally on craigslist. It was in rough shape but I cleaned it up a little and it's looking very nice.

Anything you guys can tell me would be much appreciated, year,model,history,value etc. Thanks

very strange piece.

dial and hands clearly are NOT mid 1940s, they seem to come off a 1960s 1192; ref. 1781 is not a documented Breitling model.
maybe a movement shot will tell us more ?

not a bridge marking I remember seing, and it happens to be a movement only introduced in 1948 iirc, bridge shape is much later than that.

60s Breitling dial and hands from a ref. 119x with a non-Breitling case and movement, I'm afraid.

I'm guessing it is to appear on an auction site near you soon!

Seems likely, where it will be noted and reported by those who aren't as naïve as some would assume :-)
