I recently saw this watch sell on Ebay and I would love to find more information so I can track down another.

According to the listing it is mechanical and from 1951.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thank you! I was concerned I had missed out on a piece I wouldn't find again, and the auction listing was out of Argentine. I feel much better about not winning the bid now.

What signs do you look for?

Breitling just never made such a watch of that design. Typically a watch from 1950 would have some wear and discoloring as well.
