Just found that, new on ebay and very honestly described as a non Breitling item, non vintage handmade hommage box . I bought one as it is low priced, nice item to store a vintage Breit as vintage boxes are hard to find and expensive when you are enough lucky to source one .

I just gamble that very quickly we will see some people trying to present those boxes as legit vintage Breitling boxes at high price. And sure it will not take years!

About 10 years ago there was someone in Hong Kong that was making beautiful aftermarket Breitling boxes. They were well done and had sort of a satin finish with an outer cardboard sleeve. I bought a couple of them for vintage watches. Now I see them all the time being sold as original boxes.

I received my box yesterday , good value for money . In my opinion no way to confuse it with an old box but nice evocation of the Navitimer ad .

Hello. Is my first post but I read basically all days this forum.
Its not necessary regist to acess to the forum. :) Its nice. Very good value information

I have only 2 Breitling´s but love them a lot. One Breitling Cadette vintage and also one vintage navitimer. Need replace dial. A little bad condition

I am making this coment because also bought this box. Great item and honest description.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... RK:MESE:IT

Great value for the money and honest description.
I will not put names, but found 2 websites , 1 from USA and other from France selling them has original . One asking 500 dollares and the other 150 euros.

But this seller put honest description. Just love the box. Buy it for one old navitimer. I aSk im and he produce by costum. Will ask to make one for my Breitling Cadette.
