Hi, I just bought a vintage breitling divers watch ref 3962. When I research it pops up as a Ladies divers Watch 1970 aprx 29 mm I'm diameter. This Watch by no means is a ladies Watch it's has a massive case it's authentic not a replica any idea??? The diameter is aprx 35 mm and lug to lug is aprx 50 mm.

LOL I chastised the seller for ending the auction for a half price offer. The 3962 is the ladies watch. I've had both the mens and ladies and the mens is a lot larger. Still a nice catch. :thumbsup:

That's the one! Not a Ladies Watch though it's a pretty big watch! I am getting it restored by my Watch repairman who has over 35 years experience restoring high grade watches! I wll post pictures once the watch is finished before and after. I really think the watch is worth well over 2000.00!

These come up pretty regularly. I've never seen anyone fool enough to pay more than $750.

I just think it's really nice! I have been buying and selling watches for 23 years and I have never bought one just a thought.

Nice job of cleaning it up and I see the first auction was cancelled since it wasn't doing to well. Actually I think it was quite lucky to have a $1k bid.
