Hi everyone,
I write form Italy and I might have in my hands a Breitling 781.
I've done some researches to understand if the watch I have is worth a repair and a new dial and a new crown.
For sure it deserves a try here.

Hope you won't mind to check these pics.

Thank you!

case is Breitling, all the rest isn't.

Thank you, I do believe the same, when I saw the dial I couldn't not laugh at the previous owner.
I got it for free and the caliber seemed to me like a Venus 175, which is not a bad one...and I thought for a moment it could be "Breitling" (used by..) for the 781

yes, it is a Venus cal. 175; correct for the ref. 781, but obviously from a non-Breitling donor.
