Helle, I am new on this forum as I Just bought my first Breitling.
I would need your precious advices regarding this watch I bought to a Breitling collector. A top time ref. 810 with a valjoux 92 movement. The diameter must me 35 or 36mm.
The seller certifies that all is athenthic but that this model is quite rare.
Here is the picture:

"We inform you that the dial, the back and the case are not corresponding to the original Top Time 810 model
Moreover this movement have never been used by Breitling.
Here is a picture of the original Top Time 810 model:

I nevertheless ask for more details:
" Is it a fake according to you?
Is it an authentic Breitling dial, an athenthis Breitling back and an authentic Breilting case? Would it be a watch made with assembled components coming from various Breitling watches?
Are you sure that the Valjoux 92 have never been used by Breitling?
It seems that the watch was produced in 1966, do you have the 1966 catalog in your archives?"
Answer from Breitling:
"Our expert for old models said that teh dial, the back and the movements are fake ones. Regrading the case, he cannot afirm at 100% that it is a fake one. In any case the case does not correspond to the original Top Time 810 model.
We confirm that the valjoux 92 movement have never been used by Breitling.
Unfortunately we don't have archives of old catalogs."
Do you think it is possible that Breitling doesn't know this model?
I found this one that looks like mine with a venus 178 movement. Mine would be a two counters version of this one.
