The Breitling Watch Source Forums

Hi Guys,

I was looking at this watch and made an offer on eBay:

Typically, the offer was accepted a couple of days later when the original offer I made was now to expensive. I spoke to the seller and he offered it to me at a reduced rate so I wondered what your thoughts are and if anybody has an idea of its value?

I think its quite unique with its totally polished look and I've been after another cheaper Breitling for a while.

That watch is a mess. It's been way over polished especially the bezel which shouldn't be polished at all and came with a satin finish originally. The seller sold this watch for $650 and then mysteriously relisted it at $950. Here's the new link.

Nothing mysterious... $650 was what I offered.

It has been over-polished though, especially on the caseback.
