Hello, I just bought a vintage Breitling n. 789 (1946) from a german ebay seller.

http://www.ebay.it/itm/190606643236?ssP ... 1439.l2649

But later I found some pics on an original breitling catalogue and I'm beginning to have some doubts, especially on the hands. The original hands are supposed to be thin and straight, these look different, although still "vintage". Any opinion about this? Please tell me something, I still have to pay for this item... Thanks for your help, as always much appreciated

well, this might not be the most repected seller on this site,
but that particular watch seems correct, hands fit the previously lumed dial,
they have been relumed, but I think are authentic.

Looks correct, but wouldn't but from that seller under any circumstances because the vast majority of his stuff isn't.
