Hi evreyone.

I am new here and enjoying it :)!
There is a lot of interesting information on vintage Breitling I am happy to discover .... :)

And after such topics, I decided to buy my vintage Bretling.

At this point of my reflxion, I 've found a interesting watch, sold by a neighbour, and I have some questions for you :
- is it real or fake ?
- he would like to sell me the wath for about 750€ ? Is it a good price or is it too expensive ?

Descritpion of the watch :
years : 1950’s
serial number : 761382
case diameter : 35 mm
caliber : venus 188, 17 jewels

You can see some pictures of the wath to help the response you could make me :

I don't know. It is a question I have to ask to the vendor !!

Do you think it's strange and not conform for such a watch, or is it just your feeling ?


And concerning the price ? Too expensive or normal ?
Because I have no idea about the good price for this kind of breitling...

Thanks a lot

Running to a meeting, so very quick look, but....

Think that the dial is redone and that the movement has at least some replacement parts. I would pass on this, nicer ones out there.

Ok.

Thanks a lot for your help.
I will inform the vendor of your remarks. It s a pleasure to talk to specialist ;-).
I think he will be not happy of the things I will say to him .....
