If I am reading that spanish thread correctly these are pieces that came from Switzerland (Breitling headquarters??) for an exhibition in Spain Girona

If they did come from Breitling HQ I am very disappointed in the quality of those pieces

The exhibition was held in a major Spanish jewelry in June 2008, all watches are the property of the Breitling firm, so I assume all they are originals. You can see more pictures on the next link

that I highly doubt , as I can pick at least 2 that have at least a refinished dial

Case and movement *might* be original (hard to judge without movement shots) but some of these dials are definitely redone, and not nicely either

There's people on this forum that have much better pieces !!

well, maybe they (in the Breitling HQ) think that if they have redone them, the original remain. I also think that there are experts watchmakers out of Breitling SAT who working much better with vintage pieces.

Don't forget that Breitling today has nothing to do with Breitling pre 1978 and the only way that they have built collections is the same way that the rest of us have - by buying in the market.
