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?

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.

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!
