I found the watch pictured in the Flickr link below at an antique shop in Budapest and am wondering if it is real or not and what an appropriate range of prices might be. The shop owner indicated it is Venus 175 movement from the 50's but had no other details about its origin or history (and we're working with a bit of a language barrier as well). I appreciate any help that anyone can give me in roughly the next 18 hours (we leave tomorrow). Thank you. http://www.flickr.com/photos/mfmcguir/ |

pics are not good enough to say anything about the dial, might be refinished ? case it is from a Premier ref. 760, manufactured in 1946; movement should be a (most probably unmarked) Venus 175. |

Thanks, a better picture of the dial should now be included on the original link. |

Ok, sorry the pic isn't better, working with limited tools here. Do you think it's a redial based on condition or the authenticity of the design? I appreciate the responses. Any thoughts on pricing for these models generally? |

Any thoughts on pricing for these models generally? The logo on the dial looks wrong to me, especially the 'B'. Not prepared to comment on value without any indication of whether it is a redialed Breitling or a frankenwatch made up of parts and that would take much better pictures including movement. personally the redial would put me off - plenty more out there. |

Thanks so much for the help. I think you're right, I'm going to pass on this one. |
