Hi all, This looks like a grab if correct? I just can't believe the price. What do you think? Correct in all details? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Anyway here you go: https://www.chrono24.com/nl/breitling/c ... gn=sharing Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I'm absolutely no expert when it comes to GP versions, but judged as a SS I wouldn't touch it. It says "Swiss Made T" in the bottom, and the lume is definitely not Tritium, the bezel is imo not correct, it looks like a machined replacement one (see below), and the pushers doesn't look correct either. Subdial hands are not correct, they belong to a Navitimer with large subdials. On top of that it's a Valjoux 7736 mvt, which basically is ok, but far from a Venus 178 in terms of collectability & value. A lot of things are not right according to the book, but still a nice looking piece, that will tell the time as good as any other watch. Kurt B http://www.kurt-b.com |

Thank you Kurt for the info. Your comment make things complicated, as Fred says that the watch is "Perfectly Correct". Who's correct? What about this one: looks exactly the same but in stainless steel https://www.watchpool24.com/en/30733773 ... /nos/steel |

have seen several of these very late 7736 Cosmonautes, all have this strange bezel, note the lugs are also very different from the 178s |

"the book" is a saying we use, but if I was you, I would use me as a reference, at least when it comes to Navitimers in SS. The below is imo not open for discussion.: Short subdial hands are for small subdial Navitimers, long subdial hands, are for large subdial Navitimers. The subdial hands on the 2 watches you link to, are the long ones, the subdials are small. "Swiss Made T" means Tritium on the dial, and it's not......!!!!! Hence - calling it "perfectly correct" - according to the book (what we know and agree about) is imo wrong .....!!!! Whether it left Breitling like that, or not - I simply don't know.....
