I met a Gentleman today looking to part with a number of vintage Breitlings. Here is a picture of the one I found most interesting with pictures of the rest to come soon: http://i.imgur.com/u50Ws.jpg

How much should this watch be worth?

Thank you in advance for your help.

:welcome: to the forum !
first gut reaction is quite negative, though there is no way to say anything definite without pics of inner and outer caseback and movement shots !

Next Time I meet up with the seller I can take off the back. What is the best way to remove the back from a vintage Breitling? I have done rolex and Cartier but never Breitling.

Duplicate threads merged, please don't double post

Even without a movement shot, there is no way that dial is original. The quality of the Breitling logo is really rather bad.
