38: reprinted dial , hour and minute hands incorrect
44: hands not period correct
49: complete fabrication , dial reprinted hands not original
50: rare’ish but it looks like its defective watch ? maybe they switched the date in the wrong position and now the day is stuck or damaged ? count on an expensive repair (why wasn’t this repaired in the 1st place , can it be repaired ?)
55: Lume hands on a non-lume dial and geneve on a 1948 watch ? , breitling didnt mover to Geneve until 1953. So reprinted dial at least but whole watch is suspect
56: hands incorrect , might be a complete fabrication
58: rare’ish rare’ish but it looks like its defective watch ? maybe they switched the date in the wrong position and now the day is stuck or damaged ? count on an expensive repair (why wasn’t this repaired in the 1st place , can it be repaired ?)
59: suspect logo I suspect its at least a reprinted dial
61: fake , started its life as a Telda (do a search on Breitling source and you will see what I mean) , the 1980ies and 1990ies re-issues did not use serial numbers and ref numbers from previous era
66: looking at the logo its at least a reprinted dial
84: hand missing ? , what is that all about ?
88: built together franken , look at the date wheel
91: my opinion reprinted dial , would need to see the lume irl to say if redone, but clearly dial too small for the watch, out of a 790
92: I suspect repainted lume / relumed dial
93: Mk1 case with a Mk3 dial and movement ? frankenwatch
95: incorrect bezel
127: I dont trust the write up if the serial number doesnt fit the story how can it be much earlier ? , Breitling had very good serialization and apart from a very well documented 806 all serials match the date , later serials on a earlier watch never happened or documented

(sorry voor het engels maar was teveel tiep werk om alles ook in het NL’s te doen)

“Vintage is a minefield”. Interessant om te zien dat het ook echt zo is.

Bijzonder knap!

Ben ook zeer benieuwd naar de rea van het veilinghuis, zal wel heeeel stil blijven ???

There’s no substitute for experience! De vintage horlogemarkt is zo overspannen dat mensen alles kopen voor elke prijs. Maar blijkbaar doen veilinghuizen ook hun huiswerk niet meer (of het interesseert ze niets).

Je moet er ook eigenlijk altijd heen, ik was zaterdag op een veiling kijkdag in Duitsland en van de 21 potentiële kansrijke horloges waren er na een half uur nog 5 over. Defecten, verkeerde kronen, redial’s etc.
