Hi Guys,

I wanted to bid on this Breitling Cadette on Ebay, but it seems odd to me. Does it seem fake?

Thanks for the help

Crown's a replacement, maybe the pushers too, but broadly correct for an 1159. The dial looks a little off around the B / Breitling, but I think that's just wear.

:welcome:

You don't see any outright fakes of this vintage Breitlings but wear and tear and non-original replacement parts can make the watch look different.

I'm no expert on vintage pieces but if the movement looks OK, that's usually an indication the piece is basically OK.

I think the dial was originally white,it's not refinished too well around the batons, or the 9.00 oclock subdial, Breitling logo looks like it was done with a Tipex correction pen.
