I saw what was referred to as a "B" Breitling Geneve. It was in horrid condition, and my hobby is refurbishing watches, then hobby #2, photography, then #3, writing it up, usually tongue in cheek style.

The watch I bought looked like it was in a meat grinder, then stuck under a mallet, tossed around by some kids. Today? It looks Nr Mint with all new plating, 80% of all scratches gone. However, I would like to know what I am selling. It is marked Breitling, looks military, and I can see a "1287" under the spring. The bezel and case are real for sure, but the rest?

And what maker for the movement marked Breitling, unadjusted, and SWISS.

Gentlemen, you are my greatest asset.

Thank you in advance,

Michael

sorry, but (almost) usual answer: fake
what makes you think the case is real ?
watch has none of the correct reference and serial number markings,
logo on caseback wrong, dial clearly refinished.

Case is absolutely not a Breitling case, nothing in the case is real Breitling either.
