    Hi good people!

    i got this hand wind watch from my friend as he is not interested in it

    it says breitling on the dial but it looks like its not original as it looks refinished or painted on ,not by breitling.
    It has a plastic glass.
    the movement is not signed by breitling or looks like a breitling movement ,but i might be mistaken cause i have no knowledge how vintage breitling movements should look like and not sure if breitling signed all their movements.
    The crown has a breitling “B” on it
    And watch keeps good time.

    is there any part that you see that is original in any way on the watch??
    If so any info on it

    thank you very much!!
    ;)

    just saw someone post a pic of a 1968 Bulova and the hands look pretty similar!

    The crown might be legit. Cheap FE 140 movement, often used in fakes.

    I would say every part is authentic, just not authentic Breitling. :)

    Everything about that watch looks crude.
