You take a Old Navitimer dial and you put it in a good generic case . Apart that it is a frankenwatch , result is spectacular and the seller clearly says the case is a non-Breitling .

You said enough with these words right here. There is no such thing as a spectacular frankenwatch. A turd is a turd no matter how much you polish it.

not a fake and not even a frankenwatch - a marriage, quite nicely done too.

wish the seller would be clearer about this and not call it a Breitling, only admitting the case was non-original, but compared to many of the vintage offerings this is actually a nice watch, isn't it ?
