Hello guys
This is my first post to the Breitling forum.
I am not a Breitling men my self so have not so much knowledge about them.More into Omega i admit even though i know saying it here is a sacrilege.
Any how,i bought this one without having a clue about it.I looks legit but i hope to get some more info.
Thanks and Shalom from Israel

I can't vouch for authenticity, but I would love to know how a dial gets beat up, scratched and worn-out when it's inside the watch?

I think the watch suffered some water damage in the past and was repaired by a non expert watchmaker.Water damage marks can be seen all around.

Looks like it - the rotor has some rust. That is a full service I should imagine.

Hi,
Given the amount of damage from water ingress to the dial and movement components you would be looking a restoration costs in the order of $5-600USD maybe more if we go on past reports on this forum. It will come back like a mint condition watch but it will hurt the wallet a bit to get it there. Contact a breitling AD and ask him to organise an estimate for the repairs. Then you can decide if you want to go the whole 9yards.

Thanks for the info.I must admit that after a deep investigation.the cheapest place to do this job will be,and i cant believe i m saying it,here in Israel.the price offer i got for a complete overhaul to the watch in a local Breiltling experts shop is about 300$ to 400$ including all ORIGINAL parts neeede.
Btw,he also offered me to buy the watch from me as he needs some parts from it.i have my eyes on a superocean he has there for sale.
OMG, desicions , decisions , desicions ....
