The Breitling Watch Source Forums

Hi there - I'm new around here, and wish I would have thought to come here before some of my earlier purchases.

I'd really like your views on the below. Fake?

Thank you!

I would be grateful for any input. I love the watch and non original strap but I can't find sufficient online resources to do the learning required to make a determination about what had been replaced or not.

Ive looked at it a few times but I would call it 'restoration gone bad'

The dial is in a color I have never seen before and just lacks the quality I'd expect
the inside caseback engraving is incorrect (script Breitling engraved, not stamped as I'd expect) and what is "VJG" ?

On the other hand the case itself looks good

all in all .. I'd never buy it , but thtats

When did you ever see a plated back cover on a plated case Breitling? Dial is a redo, bridge marking unusual for the timeframe, and staged with a fake box. Beware.

Thank you all for your input! Disaster averted!

Expensive way to learn . Personaly I should open a paypal claim for sale resignation and full refund . This watch is far from original , Breitling parts spoiled by a very bad " lifting "
