Thank you! How much does the replaced ring drag it down?

Best regards,

Not enough to make a price difference of any note.

What Wayne is saying about price is true, but beyond price there is a difference to some. The red accents Make the slide rule "incorrect" for this piece, however this is common and acceptable for many, as the originals are difficult to find.

If I bought this piece, I would not be able to fully enjoy it until it had a correct slide rule... But that's just me.

Also worth noting is that the slide rule appears very new , and may have not been with the watch for very long.

Thank you so much for the feedback! :)

Can any of you guys tell me what you think this watch is worth (of course presuming the movement is ok, but it has been serviced 1,5 years ago)?


Best regards,
J

Have a look at completed ebay auctions to see what has sold and what has not, and for what price, and compare conditions. Of course, a dealer will fetch a higher price.

let me add that the sliderule is NOT a n original Breitling part, but a refinished piece, that would be a problem for me, you'd have to factor in about $200-250 plus installation fee for an authentic part.

Thank you!

I decided to let the watch alone, due to the slide rule.


Best regards,
