I am looking at buying a Breitling. I have never owned one before so have been doing some research. I have found this one on ebay but cannot find anything with the combination of the same strap, face & seems to be less common with gold on bezel but not gold push buttons etc. The 81950 number is common.
It is for sale $1895.00
I would appreciate any help to becoming a Breitling owner. :lingsrock:

Thanks in advance.

It's real but too expensive, even with full box and papers - the watch is close to 30 years old.

81950 is actually the model number which is why it's common. The bracelet is also old and will likely have stretched so may be near the end of it's useful life, and service history is important to know or you need to factor service costs in on top of the purchase price. The background of the date window looks aged which is weird, haven't seen that before.

Welcome to BreitlingSource.

I moved it to the regular replica identification because it's from the 'modern' Breitling - 1984 onwards, we tend to keep the vintage section for the original Breitling up to 1978. But no big deal, easy to move.
