The Breitling Watch Source Forums

It is to me.

can someone give me an idea of the value (money) of a thing like this?

somewher around the $800 - $1100ish depending how much you like the colour combo but its a normal early chronomat and its not rare in the slightest

I already won the auction but still not payed. What do you suggest to do?

Post a link to the auction.

You didn't offer excessively much for it, so if you like the watch and don't care for the fake box and probably shady papers, pay for it.

two aspects: one commercial and the other by the amatour point of view.
Commercial: it's 1200$ against the 950$ in average that was said.
Amatour point of view: I actually like the watch, but then... I don't know: there is that little voice inside that says "see that box? it's a faaaake; see that papers? It's a faaaake; ha ha ha!!!" and laughs of me....

Watch is not a fake.
If you are bothered with some part's year inconsistency, don't pay for it.

well, it's not a fake but also it's not a watch you would have found in a store...

anyone else opinion/ideas?

There is no evidence that the watch isn't exactly as it came from Breitling - many, many examples like this. You paid a bit too much but that's not a good enough reason not to honour the deal that you agreed to in my mind.

First of all: I'm not pointing my finger against anyone, if it looks like this pardon me, it's not my intention, just my bad english. I appreciate very much your help.

So, what you said is bit differed from what was said before (if I translated right).

It has been said that this probably is a b13050 to which has been replaced the dial with one's from a b13048.
Now you're saying that it is an original coeve watch, and in some occasion.
I started this thread exactly to investigate on this, as for example the year 2010 sounded strange to me, but not having the knowledge I decided to ask here.

If it comes out that this is all original I will honor the deal as I always do (take a look to my feedbacks), but, at the moment, this originality seem to be all to be demonstrated.

Said that:
- watch: all original but not coeve, thus a franken
- warranty: probably a blank one retrieved somewhere and badly fullfilled
- boxes: fake

and, if you translate seller's desccription, that was not declared, it was declared exactly the opposite they guarantee full originality.

So, what would you do in my shoes?

There are a number of 13048 / 13050 combinations - we have seen several here before, and they are perfectly real. We don't know the history behind them but there is no evidence that they are anything but original Breitling.

I already told you that it might be.


Parts are original, you'll never know was it like this when it left the factory.

sorry. but what do you mean by "coeve" ?
my gut reaction when I saw the watch was "real", in line with many I have seen.
documents and boxes are wrong, but the watch itself seems quite ok,

also remember that a watch you buy in the US for $1,000 will end up around
€1,000 when you receive it, after shipping and VAT, so even the price seems
quite fair.
