Hi all,

I took a gamble on this one at the local pawn shop yesterday. I checked with some friends who own vintage Breitling and are fairly knowledgeable - they tell me it’s an honest watch with plating falling off and non-original crown.

I know I should’ve asked before I bought it, but I got too excited.

I would love to know your thoughts on the watch?

Thanks,

Kevin

looks like a nice watch to me, but certainly not collector’s grade. However, it sounds like you know exactly what you have bought and are aware of its condition, so provided you didn’t pay above the odds, it’s a nice buy.

That’s s great find! You can with patience get replacement crown. Crystal may bewrong too as it’s causing visual distortion to the slide rule, but a very easy fix.
