The Breitling Watch Source Forums

Caseback is OK, still don't like the bridge though.

Thanks Roff.

Also noticed the dial has "Swiss Made" on it at 6 O" Clock, any idea why some have it written on the dial and some don't?

most (all?) correct ones I have seen have 'swiss made' below the 6
some a bit obscured by the plexi but they all seem to have it

all I am comfortable with do have "SWISS MADE" on the very bottom of the dial, sometimes very hard to see on pics w/ the crystal on.

Thanks Fred and Rene.

this one puzzles me though

it looks all correct but I cant find 'swiss made'

yes, shouldn't the "swiss made" be visible or present or did it depend on the dial maker?

puzzles me too, though the example below shows an invisible "swiss made" too, believe me, it is there.
just arrived from Oregon

Wow, that's a beauty, congrats. Btw can I see a picture showing the "SWiss Made" sign? Is it in black or light lettering? Might have to tilt the camera though:)

San, thought my word would be enough ?
the fact it is on mine does not remove the doubts on the other piece, does it ?

here it is:

Didn't mean to doubt you Fred, just wanted to see the shade of the lettering to gauge visibility. I guess it should have been visible on the other one too since the shots on the ebay one are taken at quite many angles?

Congrats !!! great piece I am jealous

well.. you showed me yours, I'll show you mine when I pick it up from the post office this afternoon

and mine has 'swiss made' as well but obscured by the new crystal

This gets very confusing when the same questions get asked by PM and publicly and leads to a lot of duplicated effort.

I have seen many pictures of pieces that appeared not to ave Swiss Made that I deem to be correct based on other factors. Whether they actually had Swiss Made on them and it just couldn't be seen on the picture I don't know.

And before the next PM question gets asked publicly.....

I am also OK with either the 1 or the 31 being above the 12 on the dial!
