Save yourself time and effort and never, ever consider buying anything from the seller of the 3rd piece - a well known seller of suspect and worse pieces (and the logo on that one proves the point). The second one is from the same seller so same advice applies, steer well clear.

The first one has some Breitling elements - the case looks correct to me, but still stay away - 2936 is a central seconds model and this one obviously has small seconds so has had a different movement and redial put in what appears to be a genuine case.

Even good sellers can make mistakes, find the watches that you like first and then check in here before committing.

If Breitling has ever made square/rectangular shape watches?
I've seen a lot of "vintage" or vintage watches offered.

Is this particular one fake as well?

What about this one?

Breitling did produce rectangular watches, both 3-hand and chronographs, rare.

1st is from Buenos Aires, junk like almost all watches from Argentina, Ecuador, Uruguay,Peru.

2nd and 3rd are mass produced China junk - offered by a bunch of sellers, worthless.

4th seems to be a correct ref. 2525, although the serial no. seems strange, massively overpriced.

Ok. Thank you.

Is there any price estimation info on vintage Breitling?
Can you make a guess on ref. 2525? What is the price average for it?

well, somewhere between $300 and $20,000 is a realistic range.

nice GP 3-hands will typically sell well below $500

ref 112 not in Richter, but looks correct for a 1947 3-hand, quite like it.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/EXCELLENT-1950- ... 20d31a49c9
seems correct & nice, production year 1950, logo on the dial maybe "touched up" ?

http://www.ebay.com/itm/BREITLING-CADET ... 48558a1435
no caseback, no movement shot, stay away.
advertised as "BREITLING CADETTE VINTAGE TESTOSTERONE LADEN MEN'S TANK WATCH BA LUGS BUY IT BRO" :wowzers
