would like to see a much better (more in focus) picture of the dial and the inside of the caseback but my first reaction is that its not genuine and fake |

Thanks for your answers. I do not have a picture of the inside of the caseback. Is it possible that the reference and serial number are inside the caseback? Attachment: breitling4.jpg

would surprise me very much for ref. 17x Venus models. as said, dial & hands are clearly incorrect too. yes, the price is tempting, but the watch isn't. |

Ok. It looks pretty nice, but for a fake one... For you, the venus calibre is also fake? |

| Post subject: | Re: Need help for a vintage Breitling authenticity |
Is it a cal. 170 or 188? |

my error, 188 ! launched late 1940s, so clearly a period where all B had ref. numbers outside the caseback |

Tanks a lot. Just a newbie question. The reference couldn't have diasappear following a polishing of the caseback? |

I can't find the info. When has the cal. 188 been launched (I found a Venus 188 from 1945 here : http://www.breitling-museum.com/1940-1949.html). |

no clear info, 1948 was our assumption as the earliest launch date - claimed by Ranfft, other sources claim 1949. any reference to that site is dangerous, 80% plus fakes. |

We see this over and over and over... someone swept up by a watch like being in the grip of some kind of religion. A of true believer that just can't let it go! |
