Greetings All!
New to the forum and I have a question. I found this while cleaning out my father-in-laws things after he passed away. I was curious to know if anyone could tell me what I've got. I don't know anything about Breitlings, but know some can be quite valuable. Bob (my Father-in-Law) served in Belgium during WWII, but never discussed his war service with anyone. I thought he might have picked it up there or elsewhere in Europe, as what little I was able to find out about the watch seems to point to pre-1945 manufacture, and that A. Lunser was a supplier to the Third Reich. Any information anyone could offer me would be greatly appreciated. (Real Breitling, model, year of manufacture, value, rarity, etc.) Oh, and everything functions properly, and it's keeping perfect time.

Its a very rare and early Breitling 605 NR from 1943 during the WW II, not to confuse with the later and cheaper 605 A from the Korean War. It was sold by A.Lünser in Berlin. Calibre is a Valjoux 5 KVM.
