路The case reference number does not necessarily tell you anything about the dial/hands, just the case. Although it can 馃槈
This dial is not original, nor are the H/M hands (not sure about the other hands without looking more carefully).

路Thanks for your input! By the way, out of curiosity, how could you tell the dial was replaced?

路路Color Commentator for the Hyperbole.Weirdly attractive watch if you are just looking for an inexpensive fashion piece. As a collectible piece the hypo HM hands are not correct. The dial is a very good redial IMO. Rounded 3s are an indicator. Closed 6 was used in 50鈥檚. Love the clean moon disk.

路路Color Commentator for the Hyperbole.No matter how pretty, well shot, well displayed, almost always a redial.

路Rip that doesn't bode well 馃檨 do you think maybe I should get this one and try to find age-appropriate hands?

路I think that you should find a nice white one 馃榾
A black one is terribly rare, and I think that if you find one it will cost - at least - 25K$ - if authentic and in nice conditions.
Why buying a redial? Just buy a normal one! They are not rare watches 馃榾

路If you want to get a Tri, starting by looking for a black dial Tri is not a realistic goal, unless you get unbelievably lucky.
You might want to set a more achievable goal for some other type of original Tri.
Most collectors would not advise you to purchase any UG with a redial.

路Fair enough - thanks for your opinions I'll pass on this and look out for other tri compaxes. I just like the look of the rose gold and black tri compax dials hehe

路if you like this combo you'll have more chance to find a nice Breitling Datora with those skills.
Always rare, but not so rare.

路Great I'll have a look at them! What about pink gold dialled Tris? Are those as rare as black dialled ones?
