Hey all just picked up my first Breitling 765...or at least hoping I did. Hands don't look right to me, but you are the experts. Thoughts? Any and all help appreciated. Thanks!

not the reply you might have hoped for - but why didn't you ask before bidding on ebay near or above a price for the most perfect pieces ? had almost a dozen of pm about this watch while the auction was running. main hands are totally incorrect, no similarities whatsoever to hands used on a Premier 765 - or any Breitling chronograph. unmarked movement incorrect for the production period (1953 earliest assembly), all movements after 1945/46 should be marked. frankenwatch. |

Thanks for the reply. Novice moment. Obviously will come here first next time...it's an education. Are the dial and case correct and worth anything? |

movement is authentic (or most probably is), only wrong period. dial and case are authentic and a correct fit. I'd talk to the seller, as the watch is clearly NOT 100% authentic as he had described it. a paypal case will be decided in your favor, I assume. |
