Could anyone of standing please validate this watch? I think it looks like a fake, but of course I do not know every watch that has ever been in the Breitling catalogue. Many thanks in advance.

From the "good" examples I have found since my original post, I can see that the pushers are aftermarket, the lugs are heavily polished (which is odd for a plated watch, so maybe it has been re-plated too) and the sub-dial hands are completely wrong.

a ref. 9122, the same also marketed as a Wakmann. horrible, but basically authentic, pushers are (poor) service replacements. manufactured May, 1972. |

I noticing the lug shape too as I was trying to see if it was the same case as the long player (it’s not). Sometimes these polished lugs still look plated in photos - reflection I guess. I think in person, they would be polished with base metal showing through. |

REF 9122. First time I saw one, I thought it was fake too, but a quick Google revealed plenty of examples. REF 9121 (in my humble opinion) is a much nicer looking ref. Here is one that I saw on ebay not too long ago that sold for a little under $2k (I feel they paid too much for it though) https://www.ebay.com/itm/BREITLING-CHRO ... 632-2357-0 |
