Webauction24 sells many different "restored" Breitling's on Ebay. They are often not 100% completely original and authentic. This Navitimer is actually from 1960 according to the serial number, not 1957. It appears to have the wrong sub-register hands and I think the dial has been completely redone. I'm not totally sure that the dial layout is correct either but I'm not a Navitimer expert. I would also bet the case has been replated, which isn't all that bad if the original was worn badly. You can compare this watch to others at Kurt's site;

Navitimer's are worth what you're willing to pay for them and the asking prices aren't going down.

Dear Paul.

This auction has ended.
The seller closed it.
So I have no more option to get it.
I'm a little bit happy about it.

THANK you for your VERY good background informations about this Navitimer.
I could see those different things you listed.
THUMBS UP !

To me this Navitimer looked so nice.
If I got it it were my first vintage Breitling Navitimer and my first YG watch.

We'll see what comes up next, cause I have licked blood (german slang). :wink:

Now I'm on duty for tonight. We'll see what happens. Hope not to much.

Have a nice day.

Cheers Bone.

@Brian:
Yes it looks ... but when it is not what it shows, than I dont wanna have it.
