The Breitling Watch Source Forums

this is a professional seller - so you should NOT have a problem to get your money back - it's the law, in the UK and across all of Europe !

why settle for a watch like the Top Time 814 instead of the Pult you had been searching for ?

The ref. 2117 is CLEARLY misrepresented by the seller, he calls the watch "in excellent original condition l", nothing could be further from the truth, let me sum it up.

blue dial and a brown tachy insert & bezel - clearly mismatched, this combo was NEVER produced by Breitling.
date wheel wrong, taken from a Cal. 11/12 with a date display at 6
all hands wrong (well almost, the chrono second an the minute counter seem correct).

The movement pic isn't clear enough to tell whether it is a correctly marked Breitling version, I actually doubt it.

seller claims "Guaranteed to be 100% genuine" - well, it very, very clearly isn't, it's a typical parts bin Frankenwatch.

Here is a pic of a Breitling Cal. 12 in a Pult ref. 2117 for comparison if you can get better pics of that FrankenPult movement.

as Phil says, correct hands are available at reasonable prices, as are correct date wheels - but finding a correct brown Chrono-Matic dial will be quite tough, most of the dials are for V7740 versions - and no, they are NOT compatible.

Get your money back from that seller - and stay well clear of any other watches he has on offer, who knows what inconsistencies you'll find there, with watches "Guaranteed to be 100% genuine"

looks correct, though there's a strange inconsistency among the pics, on the frontal the lower red accent on the minute counter subdial looks extermely fade, on other pics it doesn't.
would NOT buy w/o a movement shot - hell, as I said; wouldn't buy from that guy at all, but your money, your choice.

(Very good work gents, take a bow.)

Tom was merely showing his support for the guys who've worked hard to make sure you get a legit bullhead.

He said he checked with his Breitling expert (I can only guess this is somebody at the uk service centre) and he believed the watch was good (I know that quite a few on here beg to differ)
