Authenticating a Breitling
I have spent a few hours searching this and am still confused so any help gratefully accepted. I have been offered a Breitling Chronospace, 1996 model, SERIAL#A56012.1 10185.The watch is 18 years old and shows age reflective of this. The seller states the following:Movement replaced in 2009 (Aerospace movement) & New Crystal and HandsService & Cleaning in late 2012Neoprene Travel Case (Gen) & Polishing ClothChronospace ManualAftermarket strap & BraceletHe has no proof or papers of this so cannot authenticate. Is there any way of checking authenticity as the seller is not in the same country as me and I cannot view it apart from the pictures he has sent. Its a good price (looking at similar on ebay etc). What would experts value this watch at?I know its difficult without seeing it but a ball park figure would be a good starting point for me. Thank you.
