Post subject:  Franken Breitling Premier?

Hi all,

First post so forgive me if the anything is lacking.

My friend is currently in Prague and I asked him to keep an eye out for vintage Breitling. He saw what looked like a vintage Premier. Unfortunately he only took a picture of the face of the watch and not the rest of the case/ caseback/ movement.

Looking at it, it appears the hour and minutes hands aren’t blued like the other hands on the dial, which makes me suspicious that this may be a franken, but as I’ve no experience with vintage Breitling I have no idea.

Additionally, this watch appears to be priced at around $300.

If it could be genuine I’ll get him to go and grab pics of the rest of the case/ movement tomorrow.

Thanks for your help.

Thanks Watchfred.

I’ve got a couple more pictures from him, as you’ve said seems to be a 789 from 1945 judging by the serial number. Chronograph seems to be working smoothly.

Also got the price wrong, it’s being sold for ~£670. Would I be overpaying (not asking for an exact valuation, just would like to know if the shop is taking us for a ride with its pricing)?

Thanks
