Hey there! Just purchased my first Breitling (Breitling Premier 760 1945-46) and my initial reaction upon receiving the watch was, "This thing is way too light." I expected some weight, which now has me wondering whether it's a fake. Everything checks out - serial number, movement, etc., but I just don't feel right about it. The movement is a Venus 175 and runs smoothly.

Can anyone help me confirm its authenticity?

Thanks!

Vintage are often less " massive" than the recent Breitlings !
