I'm dredging the memory, but I think that there was a Giro d'Italia

Can't find pics though.

No, not a Top Time a chronograph reference 1190 from 1956, they called it Top Time in the 1970th, first time may be 1965

I have the following 1190 "giro d'Italia" model I received as gift from my father who bought it in middle '60.
That's different from the one posted before; there is not "Geneve" written under "giro d'Italia" and the back is in gold and not stainless steel.
Look two pictures. Does anyone know the exact date and the value?
Thank you

I never saw this combination "B" " Breitling" on a dial, maybe the dial is repainted. :idea:

Do you have the serial number in the caseback ?

On back side there is only number 1190 in the low position and Breitling on top.
What do you mean with repainted. The B on top is gold and only Breitling is painted. It has been bought new in a Milan shop in '60.

real interesting, if it was so and the dial may be original. one learns everyday more about Breitling. Till now i thought this golden "B" was only used in combination with "BREITLING" in bloc-letters or "BREITLING GENEVE"

The serial number you find inside the caseback

The only time that the watch left my daddy house was for a cleaning but i think he should have find such a big difference. And why someone should have change the dial leaving the same internal components?.
I don't think he bought in 60's a fake! There were not chinese ... :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
