Condition Report
Breitling watch, movement train is currently functioning however shows some sporadic rust spots and may benefit from servicing, winding stem and button may not be original as they do not fit securely, button collides with the bezel and does not allow the stem to be pushed in fully (this would require attention for the watch to be fully functional). Case is in a generally very good condition for the age with only a few light scratches and scuffs from wear. Leather strap is neither original or authentic and shows obvious wear, may benefit from being replaced. Luminous paint to the dial and hands show discolouration in keeping with age, there is some light speckling to the remaining dial however this may or may not be dirt, there is a dark spot between 7 and 8 o'clock, plastic glass has a few light scratches and scuffs however is in good condition.
With original Breitling presentation box, lid shows fading and marks to corners as a result of the age.
