Hello guys!

I found this Breitling watch that I really like and consider buying it. Would be my first =)
I´ve made some research to make sure its a real Breitling, and stumbled upon a few questions.

Obviously other companies have also sold the same watch under their own brand name, like Zodiac and Clebar. They even have the same backplate with SN and same modelnumber 790.

For the watch that I´m looking at I´m pretty sure its a genuine 790 of some sort. The Breitling dial looks genuine. What I´m questioning a bit is the interior. As you can see by the picture i attached there is no sign of breitling inside of the watch. I noticed all the brands tend to sign their watches on the spot that I marked out, however this one is blank.

I know its all the same clockwork so it wont really matter until the day I try to sell it, but it wont make me happy when that day occurs and someone tells me he´s only going to pay half the price since its a zodiac makeover.

Hope someone has an advice for me.

With best regards!

Thanks! Just the answer I had hoped for!

Mind if I ask how much you would consider its worth paying for judging by the photos?

Great!
Thanks a lot for your help! I´ll most likely not get it for 1k usd, but hopefully below 1,4k =)
