The Breitling Watch Source Forums

Love the dial, i know its been redone does that effect the value? Besides that is everything else original/ worth it?

thanks again for everyone who was helping me with the Tiffany watch as well (I passed on it)

Definitely have a watch fever its like Once i get one i just find another I like....You guys have made me a costly collector hahahah

I wouldn't touch a watch with a redone dial since it looses most of it's collectible value. If just as a wearer, dont think that dials been refinished to even look like an original but others here will comment.

I dont believe this is a breitling at all
no ref number that I can see, no serial that I can see

fake junk from a well known Frankenfaker.

ZERO ! percent original, no part of this watch ever came near a Breitling workshop

Dial is a fabrication, case is not a Breitling. Keyless works gear may be original, but I wouldn't put money on that either.

Be very careful of great fakes!!! They are everywhere, ask people of BS first before you buy. Great source of knowledge here for free!

Well yeah, but this isn't really a "great fake".

Agh I see...I know breitling did make other venus's, is there anything similar to this one that is an original?

Breitling made a number of Datoras and similar, but there are also numerous fakes so always check here. If you search the vintage section for Datora you will get an idea of the models that appeal to you.

Not franken at all.......

Just an outright fake.

well, at least this seller lists from South America directly, without hiding behind a Florida front.

Yes definitely the experts espcially roff have saved my hide numerous times. Is they anything that beetling made with the date and day of the week window? That's what I really like its useful to me as I'm always losing track. Can't believe eBay allows so many fakes half of them are from south America or china!

Yes there are some.

Pick up a copy of Benno Richter's book and you'll see many different vintage Breitlings and have an opportunity to decide on the models that you like.
