Hi all,
I'm a vintagewatch lover (as a hobby) and while looking for my first vintage Breitling I have discovered this forum when I've read Watchfreds interview on Fratellowatches. I'm hoping you guys can help me spot any potential issues with this Top Time 810 that I picked up at a serious local auction house. It should be a 810 MK2 with a red hand and the Venus 178 movement from about 1969.
It's still within the window to return so it would be great to get your opinions if it's
- fake or not
- worth keeping (for which price range?) and to clean, service, change plexi (I have a NOS original extra) etc.
- I am extremely unsure because of the the minute and hour hand. Or is there a chance that they are correct?
What do you think will it look like whne the plexy is replaced?
I would really like to get the work done on this watch but I am not sure if its worth it ( in case its not a Frankenwatch).
As well if there is a chance to get original minute and hour hands for this watch.
Thanks in advance for any and all your help!!
