The Breitling Watch Source Forums

The vast majority of vintage Breitlings on eBay are fake. Definition is about as simple as it gets - they weren't produced by Breitling.

I have seen very few Landeron powered Breitlings that are generally accepted as authentic - less than a handful. On the other hand there are very many Landeron powered Clebars, Zodiacs and other brands that people try to fake ad Breitlings.

Why do I get the feeling that this thread is being trolled.......

Roff,

What about the Breitling Clebar like this one on eBay: http://bit.ly/W9wd3o
Is that a completely different watch altogether?



What do you mean by being trolled?

Roff So how would one Know if it authentic Landeron powered Breitling?

svtcobra00 So I would look more into your Breitling you could have a authentic
Maybe you can put your kids thru college after all.

Thank you Roff for your time and info

I hope so but who knows. Hopefully Roff will chime back in.

It's a fake. Nothing there began life in a Breitling factory. Just look again at the low quality logo on the bridge, and again a non Breitling import code on the balance cock.

There are no definitive 'rules' for a Breitling with a Landeron movement, in fact there are no hard and fast rules for any vintage Breitling, but to even be considered a piece would have to have consistent case and dial and be consistent with a 1930s design. 99% of those will still be fake which is why we always ask for clear photos of all pieces being considered.

As is mine I guess...

As stated two pages back.......

How do you guys think would be the best way to sell it? I want to either sell it on a forum or eBay, and I want to make sure it is represented correctly. Should I just sell it as a 3 Register Landeron 42? Not looking to deceive anyone with the Breitling dial. Just want to get some money out of it and move on...Any suggestions?

Also, how much so I expect? $300 range?

Thanks again!
