Hello , I am new to this forum ,
Herewith a probably Breitling watch ,. Number 819574 and 805 on back of steel case . I am seeking for info on the dial because the dial is missing .
Should I have remake the '53 dial that originally belonged on this watch ? Does anybody have the layout of such a dial ?
Thanks for help .

Martin .

805 would be a Datora - i.e. a Triple Date, should be easy to tell if that fits ?

To be honest I can't tell much from those photos. The bridge engraving and serial numbers look consistent for Breitling, and the dial layout is correct for an 805, but that's about all I can comfortably say.

Hello , Can anybody give me an advice about my missing dial problem ?

sorry, but your - rather unrealistic - hope for a period correct dial would be to find a donor watch with a damaged case and a nice dial,
I have never seen an authentic Datora dial alone for sale.

The - realistic - alternative is to have the dial refinished by somebody very competent.

OK thanks , I start realizing now how difficult it is ... My own watch restorer and Chronodeco offered me a NOS dial that look more or less the same . If nobody can do a remake on the dial that went with the watch I will have to go for that solution ...and maybe in the future find a damaged watch as your suggest ... Martin
