The Breitling Watch Source Forums

Hi, i am interested in the following watch- any info on it regards fake/franken would be great. Many thanks.

pics are much too small to say anything relevant about condition, though I see no reason to believe it would be franken.

Sorry, thanks for the reply here are larger pics!!

as assumed, authentic; hands might be a (correct) service replacement.

thanks watchfred- appreciate the input- i'm learning about these beautiful timepieces and want to get one, but not something i'll regret.

make sure the crown is correct, these are tough to replace and I can't tell from the pics.

Does this one help?

This is the other side- none crown side.

not, just ask the seller to confirm it has a signed crown & get the diameter.

Diameter 48mm without crown, thanks watchfred- appreciate this.

diameter of the crown - just to check it is correct.

WatchFred I don't want to over step the mark on your time or effort but does this look ok too?

bezel was apparently damaged, so somebody reduced the black paint altogether, so this one's a no for this price, though the dial is nicer.

Fred: Agree!
The bezel of the first one seems to be processed through a turning machine (hope this is comprehensive?), scalering is fading, crown seems to be too small (no big deal).

The bezel of the second one seems to be polished.
