    What on earth is this? Breitling?

    Is this a genuine model?

    http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/RARE-BIG-BREITLIN ... 3360936857

    Or what has gone on here if it is a frankenwatch?

    I quite like it though...
    So clever my foot fell off.

    It actually has a few design elements of the Longines Blindbergh, now that you mention it (if you are very old and looking at the watches in a dark room) :lol:

    If CL had navigated using this one, he might have bought the farm though.
    :wink:

    Its one of those real genuine fakes that is, Quite rare and hard to find expect to pay loads for it but resale values are a killer :shock: , Probably will only work for a couple of days anyway :roll:

    Looks as home made as one of my farts. Those gold pointers seem stuck on half over the seconds markers of that central dial :?

    No no... don't tell me... it says

    "Made in Switchinternet"

    On the back.
    ...but what do I know; I don't even like watches!

    The movement is similar to Venus 170 or 150, which Breitling used in a number of watches.

    I have seen a number of Breitling NOS dials with the telemetre ring on them. The gold pointers are a new one to me. The case is new to me, I am not sure of display backs on watches with Venus era movements? The buy it now seems pricey for (imho) not a good looking watch.

    I may be wrong though and this could be the bargain of the century......

    Cheers

    They brought out a gold capped version called the Blingburgh, which is even rarer.
