Greg, pics are not too good, no movement pics but dial seems refinished, hands wrong, correct pieces for the claimed WWII period would have a model reference on the outside of the caseback, no serial no. visible, at least. starting bid would be optimistic for a perfectly preserved, correct piece. no.

Nothing really I can add to that - I'm getting to be pretty redundant here

never,ever. who would I turn to with my questions, then ? and where would we both be without Paul, Bill, Rene, Phil, Kurt ? lucky us.

In fact this wonderful watch is 100% genuine. As very few people know , during the WW2 Breitling held a secret base in Australia , to anticipate a possible german invasion in Switzerland - their target was the swiss chocolate industry . This model is a rare survivor of the series of watches destinated to be offered to every Jeep happy driver. Even our great friend Michael never got such a gem!
