The Breitling Watch Source Forums

Have been left a few items by an uncle who passed away and a couple of watches are included. This vintage breitling is in average condition but was working. Ive already got a few nice watches so agreed to try and identity and value it for my aunt so that she might get a fair valuation and also hopefully someone with a breitling passion might get an interesting watch. Pics attached arent the best but any help or info would be appreciated thank you.

Not the best pics but size is limited.

to put a realistic value range on the watch we need GOOD pictures; it is a ref. 815 "LongPlaying", launched in 1969, produced until the mid 1970s; Valjoux R7736 movement.

Prices vary according to condition, of course; from a low of $/€ 800 to 2k max.

The back. Dont know if the strap is original but its a bit plain.

Ok will upload some better ones to photo bucket later. I only have these 3 at present but in 8-10meg size. Thank you

bracelet is not original, watch was produced in 1974

Thank you guys. Posted on breitling forum also

Will take some more pics if need be but those are all i have now.

very decent condition. we've seen some suprisingly high sales recently, but I'd say 1.2-1.5k should be a realistic level.

you might want to watch this auction http://www.ebay.com/itm/291258382099 - very nice watch and box, people probably put off by the reserve and the unrealistic BIN.

Looks like a nice worn example , i concur with Fred's assessment on price

Am suprised tbh. The glass is marked but would no doubt polish up. I cant find any box or papers as it was handed down from his father. It will have been serviced somewhere at some point as he looked after his posessions generally. I have h8s omega seamaster on daily as he did and its beautiful. Ive also inherited a beautiful berreta shotgun that is prob 15yrs old and in super condition.
I'm tempted to try and see what it looks like on a proper strap as its quite off putting in the flesh and detracts from the watch.
what sort of strap would it have had originally and what would fit etc? I have my own jlc master chrono with alligator, leather and stainless sports bracelet, and it looks totally different on each

The ebay watch does look better on the glass. I have an identical alligator strap and that one looks excellent on similar! !
