Hello,

I've chanced upon this sale but these are the photos I've got to work with. I have asked the seller for the movement photos a couple of times now but he hasn't gotten to it yet.

I tried doing some research as I have 0 experience with breitling vintage but I can't seem to identify the model. I think it might be a breitling 2000 toptime? I'm not too sure and would be grateful if anyone could point me in the direction to go.

I would greatly appreciate if you could tell me if it's authentic or not. I know it's impossible to say without seeing the movement but are there any immediate red flags from just the dial/case?


Thank you in advance.ImageImage

Looks fine. Condition looks good. Lume pips are often gone and these look intact.

Bear in mind that the gold version sells for ~50% of the steel one.

Ah. Thanks. I never knew that. Thanks for helping a newbie out! Any reason why gold is less? Same reason as Patek's?

Just to clarify, the gold plated ones sell at a steep discount; the 18k 200x ones do not and in fact demand a premium.

Yes, I should have said gold plate.
