Hi all,

Researching vintage watches, especially Breitlings,has been my new hobby turned obsession lately. I'm really glad to have discovered this forum. I'm hoping you guys can help me spot any potential issues with this Top Time 810 that I recently picked up. Luckily, it's still within the window to return, but unfortunately opening the case would void that.

I think it's a mk2 with a red hand so it should have the Venus 178 movement. You can't tell from the pic, but "810" is engraved underneath the red sticker.

Here's the link in case the photos don't work: https://imgur.com/a/Z9wFl3j

Thanks for any and all help!

no issues, spectacular Mk2.2; no doubts it is a Venus 178.
serial should be under the sticker too, probably a last batch case from 1972.

Awesome! Thank you for looking at it. Your collection inspired me back a few months ago.

Very small observation that the pushers have been changed, but no deal breaker. Lume condition on the dial is great!

Is that evident because the pushers are sticking out more?

Yes. The pusher cap is longer.
