Hi Guys,

I wanted to find out what era this box is from, and which Breitling's it might have been used for.


Thanks in advance,
Carlo

+1 . I would not bid on this one .
In one hand watches and boxes meet each other at the end of sales process, and regional dealers were able to order their own boxes ... we can see different boxes according to country or region .
In the other hand it is quite easy for a clever guy to forge a box with low risks... Just see the Heuer checkered flag red boxes, each time a new one is popping out on ebay the price increases .

I actually bought this a couple of years ago, and to be honest, it did seem authentic at the time. I am no Breitling expert, so I respect everyone's opinion here, but I don't dismiss something, just because I have not seen it before.

I was planning on selling this box along with two other vintage Breitling blue leather boxes (I know those are authentic), but was not sure how to price this specific piece since I was not educated enough about it's authenticity.

Appreciate the help guys!

Cheers!
