Hello,

I have an estate sale beginning soon with this Breitling aviastar 1884 up for sale. If the watch is working and in good condition what do you think I should pay?

Sorry this is only close up picture and I do not know the asking price yet. Looks to be in good shape with a nice leather band and Breitling buckle.

They should pay you to throw it in the trash.

I guess I won't get up at 6:00 a.m. Care to elaborate?

A quick google says the one you are looking at is a fake.

Thank you. I did notice numbers were off. I know nothing about Breitling so thought I'd ask.

Based on the position of the sub-dials, it must have a tiny movement.

I know it is not always the case but any time I see a "chrono" with a 24hr sub dial, I pretty much automatically assume it is fake.
But yeah plenty of red flags here.

Yes. Now how about this one? Based on the one I found on ebay it looks like a fake. Same sale.

Probably relumed, but I have no reason to think it's not legit. Nice little skin diver.

The Stowa is fine, not worth more than a couple hundred provided it’s all stainless. Hands may be relumed but maybe not. They are that nice minty green.

My neighbor’s great uncle left him this rare Rolex prototype. He wants to know what he should ask for it. 😗

I don't know why, but I am fascinated by that watch. 😵‍💫
