Thanks a lot for the swift reply ! (Which I was hopping to be different

Hello to you all. I would like to have your opinion on a Top Time I purchased a few months back from someone that presumably had owned the watch (directly and indirectly) for the past 50 years. The case ref is 1199 (serial 899244), and from what I have seen, it looks correct, but I could not find any picture of this specific watch... Which is the main reason I'm having doubts about it. (FYI, the hand from the left subdial has been replaced recently as it was missing). Thank you very much for your inputs. |

The ref 1199 isn't a Top Time. The date of 1958 would be prior to any Top Time model. Someone has swapped the dial into the 1199 case or perhaps the entire movement. Frankenwatch as it's a combination of different Breitling parts. |
