I wouldn't run it much right now, the oils will long ago have broken down and you don't want to risk damaging it.

There are big big differents between in the Top Time series, also in the price:

The first Modell of Top Time serie is the very rare Top Time 765 with the AOPA dial and Venus 178 calibre, this is the rarest and most expensive Top Time,

later modells of Top Time 765 have the dial with "B" BREITLING GENEVE.

It exist also two variations with rotating becel, it is the Top Time 1765 and 7656, but real rare items.the first most expensive with Venus 178 calibre


the other cheaper with Valjoux7736



After this serie comes the Top Time 810. also with Venus 178, and the rare variation with the 24 h dial, modell 810-24, later 824.


also a cheaper version of 810 with valjoux 7736


Later also came this Top Time in cushion shape case, also with calibre Venus 178, reference 814, also a rare modell

Not to forget the Top Time 815, its not market with Top Time, but it is the same style with Valjoux 7736

All this Top Time's have 3 subdials with 12 hours dial at 6 o'clock

Than the cheaper Top Tim's beginn with reference 2000 , till 2014 beginn with the Venus 175 with 2 subdials, later also Venus 188 and valjoux 7730, they come in round or cushion shape cases.


The latest an cheapest one have the Valjoux 7733

There are big differences in quality and rarity of the different modells, therefore also in the prices till 1000 %.

Ok I took a punt on the top time posted. I spoke to the seller who seemed like a good bloke and got the last service details etc emailed over so gave it a go. Just got it back from a friend who took it to Hatton garden and got someone to look at it ( he is a Jewler there ) and it looks like it has paid of thankfully.


I have the original paper work and it is spotless. I paid £720 for it.

what do you all think Riped off or in the money?

The one above I paid next to nothing for but I was lucky there are a few around that price so that may be the going rate but its better if you can get them around the £400 - £600 mark I guess but if your happy then thats all that matters
